It has to focus on the 'fish'; that's what signals to Christians the<br>>>nature of the project.<br>>><br>>>2. But it has to avoid the 'standard', horizontal, 2 dimensional, rather<br>>>static, Christian fish of bumper-sticker fame -- rather it needs to<br>>>communicate something living and vibrant.<br>>><br>>>3. In spite of the nice "HTH" in the centre of the word, it's more<br>>>important to reinforce the fish meme than to try and capitalize on the<br>>>possible 'cross' associations. They look rigidly geometric rather than<br>>>organic, in any case, which is bad.<br>>><br>>>I've attached a photo of a sketch of one possible idea. I'm not going to<br>>>explain it at this point, since if logos need to be explained, then<br>>>they've already failed.<br>>><br>>>Comments are welcome. If it gains mindshare I'll turn it into vector<br>>>art, colorize it, make GIFs and JPEGs, etc.<br>>><br>>>I'm very excited about this project; my own work in the area (web based<br>>>Bible search tools) would not have been possible without the Sword<br>>>library and its Diatheke interface. I wasn't awake at 4am Sydney time<br>>>for the start of our talk, but I expect to be catching up with more of<br>>>you next time around.<br>>><br>>>Blessings,<br>>>Nigel Chapman<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ichthux-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ichthux-devel@crosswire.org">Ichthux-devel@crosswire.org</a><br><a href="http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/ichthux-devel">http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/ichthux-devel</a><br><br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
