[LRUG] LRUG site ideas

[Richard Livsey]

That's cool, I'm by no means a designer, just put it out there to kick-start
the discussion!

I think a variant of Paul's logo works more than Richard's logo (sorry
Rich).  Paul's, by being more stylized, will translate to other media easier
(t-shirts, laptop bags, stitched-onto the breast pocket of polo-shirts,
pencil cases, oyster card holders, cuddly toys, spray-painted onto Harley
Davidson's etc...).  As to the variants on offer, I prefer Paul's original
to the two offered variants, altho' there is definite merit in accenting the
facet-ness of the gem a little bit more somehow. 

As to Rich's design I like it, but think I agree with James, I'm not sure we
should be *so* close to the ruby-lang site?  Altho' anyone who has had the
misfortune to visit my site should probably disregard everything I say about
design.

It was always my hope that lrug.org would get some design love by
someone who had the time and skills to really make it look worthy, so
as soon as someone throws me a viable template, it'll go up there. 

Needless to say, the opinion of the majority is what's going to swing
which particular look and logo we use. Perhaps this is something that
can be brought up on Monday?

My personal preference is for something closer to pauls logo* (see 
previous emails on this thread for my own tweaks), and for a new,
fresh design, rather anything too-closely based on the ruby-lang.
