Roger,

On the FAQ forum Brian brought up whether OC has a logo. If not we've folks here that could create one, or we could toss it out to a larger group. Is that cool?

Why not? If we have one, we could make an ascii-version of it and put it in the new FAQ.

If Roger and the rest of yall are game, we could attempt to start working on it over the next few weeks.

I'm not sure if I can do an ASCII version or not, I will have to start to look into a program for conversion. Though I will talk to a couple of our designers and see what they have to say. Depending on the nature of the Logo, it might just be ascii from the rip...

Anyone have any Ideas?

Do you want something more businessy looking?

Something more like the icons with all the flair and rounded looking stuff?

Something with some COBOL code right in the logo, perhaps overlayed?

Maybe a mascot or spokesperson?

Maybe Avatars?

All ideas are welcome...

If I had my druthers, for the FAQ;

A nice corporate 3d full color glossy of OpenCOBOL

Next, time permitting, an iconic OC suitable for list bullets.

And a mascot if anyone is up for it. I envision a Bull in a SUIT. Perhaps carrying ketchup and mustard.

Cheers,
Brian

That gets me thinking about a mix of the old and the new. The Cultcobol.com site is going to be a bit aggressive...showing the new breed of cobol developers. Kinda like this: (me)

The bull for the open cobol I like, i imagine i dressed in a business suit..so kinda old school cobol, kinda new.
