Subject: [ESP] Name, goals and logo

Hi Folks,

Rather than wait for the wheels to turn to produce a brilliant mission 
statement with precise goals and a new name I decided to metaphorically 
put pen to paper and create a logo which contains my suggestion for a 
new name for the group.  The attached PDF is the result.

N.B. The logo attempts to symbolized the key components of  1) data on 
and about the earth (with no specific references to particular 
continents or countries) and 2) cooperation (both via computer and by 
humans) symbolically linked across the logo.  The suggested name has the 
old name embedded within it, but is different enough (I hope) to avoid 
confusion with the popular NASA project.

There are three "logos".  One plain, one with a "tag line" and one small 
"brand" for placing on participant web pages where appropriate.

Should in its wisdom (or dare I say lack there of) the collective 
decides to go in a different direction, I will happily use what meager 
skill I have to create a logo to match the final decision.

Roland

Neat. Hmmm.... "Grand(e) Organization of..."  or  "Global Organization 
for..."? ;-)

All,

I certainly like one or the other of "Global Organization for..." (to 
describe the collection of humans) or "Global Organization of..." (to 
describe the collection of Web sites and by extension the collection of 
humans).  Now is that spelled, uh spelt with "z" or "s"... :-)

Wow - impressed at th espeed with which you got this out!

Just a note.
Green (then red) is the color most not seen by color-blind people. Anyway I
remember a big CLIVAR fight over green/red logos...

Were those green and red???

I'm one of 'em: deuteranopic and deuteranomalous folks are pretty 
common, maybe 1% and 5% respectively, primarily males. I see less reds 
and greens (lots less!), more blues and reds - a spectral response 
shift. It's not something us visualization people typically put on a 
resume', however ;-)

BTW, the politically correct designation is "hue-challenged".
