AboutUsLogo:Status/Geekosaurus
YES It is a very well-designed logo. Coloring looks good as well.

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?
- Unfortunately, I haven't been actively editing AboutUs for very long yet, so I don't know that much about the site. What exactly is the image we want to project?
- I agree with the second group of people you described; it seems much more logical to first decide what AboutUs is really about and then come up with a logo that fits. However, maybe they already did this before I was here.

Geekosaurus, is the current design better than the listening man, to you? Would you be okay approving this one if we then immediately started a new logo process, to take into consideration all the concerns raised in this one about what AboutUs is all about and is trying to convey with the logo?

- Yeah, I do think the new one is better than the listening man. Geekosaurus 05:45, 3 July 2007 (PDT)
Okay, how about changing your status to yes up above? We're going to start the new logo process some time this week. Perhaps with a WhoWeAre consensus poll. I hope you'll participate :-) Are you interested in helping to facilitate that poll? (of course, you don't have to facilitate in order to participate) -- Brandon
