I agree with Jan's comments. I'd also like to echo her thanks to Pam
for years of hard work as our webmaster.

*Well, unfortunately, I'm one of those people who like change,
*and I'm ready
*for a new logo. Not to design, as I can't even do stick
*figures, but to
*have a contest.
*<g>
*
*I'd like to see one readily available, so guess I would have
*to go with a
*vote of the AB, which doesn't necessarily mean the members couldn't
*participate, but taking comment, and voting as the volunteers
*in their area
*suggest.

*> Before the millennium, the AB authorized the use of a special Eagle

*that year instead of the official project logo. Some people have
*> continued to use that alternate logo and are very partial to
*it. The AB
*has
*> been asked to authorize a change in the alternate Eagle
*Millennium logo,
*> removing the reference to the millennium, and allowing for
*its continued
*> use. Such a change has already been approved by the logo's designer.

*different logo.

*> Logos are used for easy and definite recognition of a
*product or service.
*> Having a variety of logos defeats this purpose.

*> Someone observed, "Some of the logos being displayed on USGW
*web sites are
*> gross--copied and resized so many times that they look like crap. And
*> graphic design capabilities have come so far since the old logo was
*designed."
*>
*> It may well be time to have a "design a new logo" contest?
*It could be
*> done either by a vote of all our volunteers (would take
*quite a long time
*> to complete and implement) or by a vote of the AB for the
*best logo (and
*> have a nice new logo ready relatively quickly).
*>
*> What are you inclined to do about the project logo?
