Jan,
I feel that it is okay for the Board to approve **any** logo for use as long
as it is an **alternative**. That way we vote individually by whether we
use the logo or not, and the Board fulfills the responsibility of assuring
that any of the logo's that are used are approved for use.
I don't think an open vote is a bad idea, but perhaps we should consider
using our resources and energy to **vote** on items that may have
significant Project impact, not that the logo isn't important, but I go back
to it/them being an **alternative** and **optional** which in my opinion
mitigates any controversy.
I LIKE the designs. But I feel that they should all be CONSISTENT however
(smaller to larger). I am not bothered by what the stars represent but feel
that the number of stars should be consistent between each of the designs.
Optional colors are good, as each of us uses different backgrounds on our
sites.
Thanks for asking.

Subject: [OHGW] Advisory Board Motion
This current motion is before the Advisory Board of the USGW -
It has been moved by Darilee and seconded by Gail to approve the
McGrew-Ayres "USA/flag" logos shown on
http://www.mcgrewfamily.com/usgw.html as officially acceptable
alternatives to the existing USGenWeb logo for all USGenWeb sites.
The motion is numbered 04-23. Is there any discussion?
**************************************
This is what I have sent as my discussion:
While I would probably be one of the first to change all my logos to the
first one on the page that Julie designed, I cannot support the motion as
written. I love Julie's designs and personally eager for a new logo. If
it
were to say an acceptable alternative until such time as others were able
to
submit designs, with irrevocable permission for the project to use them,
and
a vote was held by the members of the project to approve what they would
like as a logo, then I could support it.
I really think that the members of this project should be able to look at
new designs, including the old logo, choose what they would like, by a
project wide vote, and then move on from there.
Just my humble opinion.
***************************************
Before making an official vote on this motion, I would like you know your
opinion. Please let me know on how *you* think that I should vote.
Regardless of my feelings, I will go with the majority of what *you*
think.
Thanks,
