It's a hundred times simpler than the > American flag, and nobody complains that one's too complicated. It's definitely nice. I wouldn't call the American flag a logo, but I am no expert. I was comparing it with the IBM or AT&T death star logos, or maybe the Apple logo. It's more complex thematically and artistically than those. Maybe it's the text in the masthead that makes me say that. I don't think that's a huge flaw...just my personal opinion...and I do like it, even with that. steve To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
