<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>

<br>
It was always my hope that <a href="http://lrug.org">lrug.org</a> would get
some design love by<br>
someone who had the time and skills to really make it look worthy, so<br>
as soon as someone throws me a viable template, it'll go up there. <br>
<br>
Needless to say, the opinion of the majority is what's going to swing<br>
which particular look and logo we use. Perhaps this is something that<br>
can be brought up on Monday?<br>
<br>
My personal preference is for something closer to pauls logo* (see <br>
previous emails on this thread for my own tweaks), and for a new,<br>
fresh design, rather anything too-closely based on the ruby-lang.<br>
