AboutUsLogo:Status/Di
YES It looks better after a few looks. While it doesn't immediately say what we are "about", it does invoke curiosity. I like it now. Also I like the leaf concept that to me speaks of growth and emergence.

I'm noticing two strong interests that seem to be occurring in various folks:
One group seems to be feeling that we've worked for hundreds of hours over the last few months to replace the ragged yellow man with something stronger and more refined (scroll through AboutUsLogo:Discussion for a better taste of the effort that has gone on so far). This group seems to feel that the current version is good enough and represents the Topsoil metaphor very well.
A second group is arriving a little later in the process and feels that the design doesn't evoke the identity they wish for their site. It feels like this group would appreciate a process of shared discovery where we first come to consensus about who we are and what our purpose is -- then move on to figuring out metaphors and logos that do a great job conveying that identity.
I wonder how we could move to honor both? Any thoughts on this?
