historical significance of a potential white hat logo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat
If you do include this kind of symbol in the logo, I would also somehow
incorporate some description of it on sites where it is posted so that people
will be aware of its greater significance--you are the white hats (i.e., the
good guys) not the black hats (and the bad guys.) It also might provide a way
that your movement can show to the world in a simple way that they
intend to be
hackers solely for good--like the Jedi Knights.
---------
Combined with some kind of hacker code that I would suggest that you formulate
(and have all your members agree to before joining,) this may help create the
impression that you are ethical hackers "for good" and dedicated to doing good
things for society--a statement that I think meets your mission well.
Best,
Julie
