Since this is an open creative process, Ling has added a couple more
designs. I've uploaded them to the "Files" section of the site as
"acmw_logo.pdf".
Of the new designs, I like the second circle design, but it's hard to
envision it on a rectangular banner (web or outside). It looks like
it would be really good for t-shirts. I also really like Heidy's
second design for banners, especially the letter background. That
background is true CS to the core and a nice throwback to password-
cracking screens. I might suggest making the acm-w font bolder and
one color (garnet?) to make it a little more easily readable, and
adding a smaller "Florida State University" to the bottom to
differentiate our chapter.
Maybe we could use both designs for different purposes?
After the meeting today perhaps we can vote?
