[open-economics] Fwd: A logo for the Open Economics Working Group

Fri Jun 8 10:07:04 UTC 2012

Dear all,

I am attaching the suggesting for an Open Economics logo from Sam Smith -
you can also see the other Working Group logos and compare it within a
context.

Let me know what you think about it.

Best,

Velichka

I have been working on your, and other working group logos. I decide to
create them as a set, to give some consistency, but more importantly,
because they all share the same requirement of needing to work with the
OKFN WordPress theme. I have included them all in the attachment so you can
see what I mean. Let me know what you think.
