AboutUsLogo:Status/Kiwi
- Kiwi's last edit on AboutUs was Jun 9. july 9 Brandon CS Sanders left a comment on hrwiki inviting to chat. On 13 July an "inactive " in 7 days note" was put on status page.
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? Brandon CS Sanders
- Just riffing on Brandon's comment and question above, there seems to be an emerging idea that I'd love your thoughts on. What if we approve this proposed logo (attractive, as you say!) now, because it is better than the listening man, and then start a new process of "What is AboutUs?" and then replace this new logo with a new, new logo if necessary at that time? What do you think? If this works for you, please change your status to YES and adjust your comment above as appropriate. If not, please comment back here and we'll go from there. Thanks! TedErnst
Inactive notice
I notice you've been away for a couple of weeks. That's no problem, of course. And, we're going to move you from NotYet to "Inactive" on this consensus poll in one week if you're still away. Feel free to make yourself active again at any time. If you'd like us to contact you directly in future, please leave an email address in your preferences or on your PersonalPage. Thank you.
