AboutUsLogo:Status/Sander Snel
NotYet When I saw the logo I really didn't think it was from AboutUs. The design is nice of the leaf shape but doesn't represent the idea of a place to promote websites. I would design a logo which aspires to look to the future and find that new website(concept). Honestly, I like the 'listening man' more because it is saying something about AboutUs (like; Check out where I heard of this site).

Hi Sander, there's a new idea taking shape that I'd like your reaction to. The idea is that we can approve this logo concept as-is now, because it's better than the listening man, and we can then immediately start a new consensus poll about the nature of AboutUs and what logo we need as a permanent symbol of what AboutUs is. If this idea works for you, please change your status to Yes above and adjust your comment accordingly (including leaving the concerns you still have). If it doesn't work, please comment back in this discussion section and we'll go from there. Thanks! TedErnst
- Hi Sander Snel, Did you see the recent change made to AboutUsLogo text? How do you feel about it? Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Obed Suhail 2007 Jul 23
Hi Sander, I can see you point about the metaphor of a leaf growing as not the feeling that AboutUs has for you. For me, this place is growing. First it started out as a whois fixer, then as a DomainDirectory and now for me it is the wiki internet. You take one part internet, apply one part wiki to the whole internet and you get AboutUs. Leaves growing all over the place. The image of the earth in the eye was great for me, because I felt it turned the whole Big Brother thing upside down, but others didn't have that feeling.

Sander, I'd love to talk with you by phone before this logo gets adopted Tuesday night. When would work for you? TedErnst
Great talking with you today. There were some edits to the text underneath the logo today. Have you seen them? I look forward to your WhoWeAre edits. TedErnst
