NotYet It's a beautiful logo. However, I don't really understand how it reflects the AboutUs concept. Although rather pedantic, I was thinking of 'About' slightly left of center, over a computer monitor. A magnifying glass over the center of the monitor enlarges 'Us'. To me, that symbolizes searching for information on the Internet. Just my 2cents. edit

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?

However, perhaps both groups could be served by the creation of a descriptive tagline. Something along the lines of "Providing the means to help your website grow" or "Providing the tools to grow websites" might coincide with the Topsoil metaphor and enable non-members to understand the design.
