[wp-design] [Fwd: Re: WordPress Logo]

[Khaled Abou Alfa]

Right that's it once I've completed this project I'm finishing off
(been sitting on my lap for 50 days now, so I thought I'd get it out
and off my plate before diving head first into this) I'm concentrating
on this 100%.

Some decent ideas there, but not completely my cup of tea. I think
Matt what's completely clear from all the proposals and comments by
everyone is that, well everyone's got a different view on what is cool
and what isn't.

But having said that it's good to have options. I want to be more
helpful so I'll get back to you later in the week about the
logo//identity.


Chris : Congrats boyo, sounds really hardcore (the apache conference).
Hey if you were flying via England we could've grabbed a beer. Oh well
next time eh?

Michael - Congrat dude, well deserved (about the book chapter, erm is
it going to be in English or Danish?).

Joen & Joshua - Congrats guys (no real reason other than I didn't want
you guys to feel left out :))
