Daniel M. Ingram:
I still think it would be fun to try to have rotating logos: programming wise, how hard would that be?


There's a free liferay portlet that should be able to handle that:

I can probably get it set up for you if you want.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for pointing that out. Actually, that app ends at 6.1, but there was one for 6.2, so I bought that (only about $31, not bad for some logo fun).

It is called Content Rotator and is installed.

Now we just need to make sure we have the logos to have it post up and to figure out how to do that. Will check out how it works. May need help, in fact probably will. Thanks for your continued support,

Daniel

Thanks for the feedback Daniel.

So interesting all the different opinions, tastes, ideas, and points of view we all have. I find that to be the trickiest bit of stuff like logo work, how to please and convey all sides in a small little icon?.. But usually what makes it easier is having a final decision maker, and for them to have some direction in mind, while being open to new possibility and fresh perspective. 
Hallelujah for boundaries and decisions.

I still think it would be fun to try to have rotating logos

This is a really fun idea that somehow suits well to the whole logo "problem". It actually has some conceptualness to it too, in the sense that we could see it as a represention of all the flavors which make up the DhO community. It's also saying "Hey we don't have one identity... and we're cool with that." Since this isn't a corporation, or a company where we'd want to have only one logo for people to always identify with and say "Oh yah I recognize that! That's DhO."... unless that was desired, the rotating logos is cool!

I am very open to ideas about how to make the homepage convey the necessary information and be serious but also not off-putting: thoughts?

The clean, black and white homepage layout and format is nice, but I was wanting some color, and I do currently like the sort of teal tones of the current logo, as they are sort of serious but also sort of friendly.

I was playing with this as you could see a couple renditions. We can mess around it with more and cater it more to your vision and taste. I definitely think we could and should do something to help the home page become more organized and concise. I did a variation of that black and white home page with colored symbols next to each category to give color and call attention. Could play on that... I'm happy to help. But, anybody else can take this on too if they want. I also see other areas that need organizational attention and cleaning up.

the first of the black and white flame images with the more cursive font would seem nice

I like the flame in the hand idea that Dream Walker came up with a lot! Megan is going to be illustrating it tonight in order to make it more of a clear stylized logo. I will render it out on the computer after, and put typography to it. Really curious to see what this will look like.

That's my input.

Edd:
My apologies to Megan and John for my remarks -- I appear to have been in a Disgust phase at the time, as explained here: http://www.dharmaoverground.org/web/guest/discussion/-/message_boards/message/5604528
There was a possible Fruition the following Friday, so perhaps it was not all in vain!

Oh, and as for the 99:1 statistic, the source was none other than Daniel himself, in his video talk at Cheetah House. I did a quick flick through but couldn't find it (it's like 3 hours long lol). It was going to be some grand LOLathon for me to post the exact minute:second he said it but it really doesn't matter now. I can't even remember if he said it or not any more.

Peace,

Edd

Hey Edd!

I really appreciate this appology, and fully accepted on my end. I sincerely do hope that you passed through a fruition! That would be fantastic. At the end of the day, this is what it's all about, going through this process. I completely understand what it's like... been there so many times!

And the various discussion about female vs male practitioners is really interesting and worth discussing. Part of the reason we offered logos of such a different angle. I think it's important to recognize both parties and their value, regardless of the possible quantity on any side.

Much love!
John

Hi!  I was also playing around with Dreamwalker's idea - i got a flame i like but did not have time to mess with the hand beyond something that looked like a discarded rubber glove.  John, if you have  use for this let me know i'll clean it up and send it to you. My guess is a simpler flame than this may work better with a hand anyway...

Ladyfrog I LOVE THIS! Yah I can definitely clean this up! Something about this flame I really like, and the colors are nice too.

Megan just sent me a really awesome hand drawn version of the open hand with the flame based on DreamWalker's idea as well.

I'm even considering now combining this with her hand... but I will do a version of each and then one combined.

Sweet!!! Loving this collaboration emoticon Will post some good stuff soon based on this.

(**also... sorry if there was a repeat of a previous post... weird stuff going on with quick reply function!)
