@WovenTales the fading of the graphic I did as an early concept, however after looking at MeB websites and logos, etc, I couldn’t find any of MeB graphic that uses fading (same with the greyscale). @mfmeulenbelt comments really made me think further about the branding aspect of this graphic. It seems visually–at least from what I see–MeB and it’s projects are all bright, bold, simple and clean, so for cohesiveness I thought it might be good for us to stay within those descriptors. @outsidecontext it was this connection of trying to tie everything together that I made the decision that any graphic that didn’t fit within a these few parameters (that exist for our webs/logos) would no longer be an option. I altered Banner10 to Banner 5 to fit within the parameters–because I too like the concept.
Please continue to let me know further thoughts–perhaps the ‘winner’ is yet to be discovered or there is something I have not considered!
