Hi, I agree also and sent a suggestion but it never
cleared the moderator evidently....go to
www.shsalumni.net One of our classmates just
designed the logo and it is so neat. It is simple and
transparent. Can't use that but I wondered if that is
a type that would be appropiate, think some people can
do neat logos with fancy fonts. Would be nice to have
one. Jo Ann Boyd Scott

have three). However, is there something specific
enough for each
county in Montana that we all could have a county
logo as well? I'm
sure each of us would have an idea what that might
be for our own
counties. Then there is the question, who creates
the logos for those
of us who are not so creative?

I concur that the main function of a LOGO is
permanent recognition. As
such, it needs to be static. I like the idea of
rotating or changing
images that represent an area; but there so many
views to consider.
Personally I prefer a simple site.
I think I am going to have to agree with Cleve. For
the official
Montana Logo should be static and if we could put
that plus a special
county one on the county page then it would allow
each county to be the
same but still different. Montana has so many
different things in so
many different areas. After all we are now the 3rd
last state. We lived
in Lewistown, Central Montana - Havre, Northern
Montana - Helena - I
guess you would that Western Montana and then
Billings - Southern
Montana - of course we even lived in Jordan for a
few months. I know
each area is special.
Seems that as we have time, perhaps a few pics can
be selected. I
restructure all new pics to allow quick loading. My
earlier ones didn't.
Perhaps we need a "standard" format of photo
presentation to use for
each county. This might assist to unite Montana
GenWeb as one
recognizable group to our visitors?

I would like to see some suggestions also. I am not
really sure that it
would be necessary for people to recognize that it
is MtGenWeb as I know
when I am looking at things on the Internet I
personally do not look for
a logo, but I think (when don't I say what I think)
that by all having
the same MtGenWeb logo if people were looking for
Montana then they
would realize it is Montana.
I don't know whether I phrased that right or not.
