Thanks for your feedback Deb!<br>

I'm aware of the msn logo. But I see no big problem, especially
after their last soft relaunch.<br>
The msn logo is a multicolored, 3D rotated and transparent
butterfly.<br>
If you see them side by side they are really different.<br>

Absolutely! This is a very thorough style guide. I really like
the colors and typography. The logo may need more
workshopping. Sadly the first thing I think of when I see the
butterfly is the MSN logo. We'd end up having a more
conversations about how we haven't got anything to do with
windows than we'd want. <br>

That said, I do agree that something like a butterfly is more
immediately recognizable than the GNU is -- present company
excepted. Perhaps we should take a look at birds. <br>
<br>
The bee is a good suggestion, especially since bees are social
and work in concert to accomplish important tasks, like
protecting the hive. Perhaps a detailed logo would look a lot
like a bee and the abstracted version could be a yellow and
black box with wings? <br>
<br>
<br>
Just brainstorming. Thank you Robert for taking thetime to lay
out all the peices involved in a visual identity! <br>
Cheers, <br>
