[ESP] Name, goals and logo

[Eric Marshall]

Regarding issues of color-blindness, take a look at the clever web page http://
www.vischeck.com/vischeck/vischeckImage.php ; they transform your image into what the 
color-blind would see. They also have a page to do the same for web pages.

Attached are two logos which are color-blind friendly and less horizonal.
