10:43 Lance Speelmon: I like the bear logo a lot - but it is not immediately clear to me the connection to Denver
10:43 Lance Speelmon: A quick google turns up logo designs based around the mountains
10:44 Lance Speelmon: Is there any reason we should not allow the community at large to vote via surveymonkey?
10:44 Pieter: The bear will be obvious once folks arrive at the conference center
10:45 Pieter: we can raise the issue of community voting during today's meeting
10:50 Pieter: Lance, see <http://bit.ly/duBt6s> Blue Bear in situ
10:53 Robin Hill: And note my note "in situ" means at the Convention Center.
10:53 Lance Speelmon: awesome!
10:54 Lance Speelmon: makes sense now

10:59 Megan May : I'm not wild about the blue bear
11:00 Megan May : it's like a big blue blob
11:00 Megan May : gosh, I hope none of you did it
11:01 Maria Miller: I'm voting for the gold and shovel
11:01 Maria Miller: great use of the Sakai logo
11:01 Maria Miller: and easy to replicatge
11:01 Maria Miller: replicate
11:08 Mike Osterman: Here--sorry late. Blame Zimbra.
11:12 Mike Osterman: I have serious reservations about the Blue Bear
11:14 Mike Osterman: I think the mountains are more emblematic of Colorado
11:15 Rob Coyle: I agree...the mountains speak a LOT more than a blue bear
11:15 Mike Osterman: Also, the bear looks like it might be doing something untoward to the Sakai graphic. cough
11:15 Lois: do we know that the bear image is not copyrighted?
11:17 Mike Osterman: If #2 looked more like mountains and less like electricity, it would be ideal from a graphical perspective.
11:17 Pieter: http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/CONF2010/2010+Sakai+Conference+Logo+suggestions
11:18 Lois: i have concern that people may think the pile of gold in the shovel logo is, well, something else
11:18 Lance Speelmon:
11:18 Megan May : There was an additional mountain one that was not included in the voting
11:20 Lois: i like the image of the lake under the mountain in #5. works together
11:20 Mike Osterman: What about the shovel WITHOUT the gold
11:21 Mike Osterman: More of a 2D shovel?
11:24 Mike Osterman: What about bounding the bear? Would that make it less blob-like?
