| *Adobe bricks spelling the name

| *A clothesline with each shirt having a different letter on it
| |
| ::I like this suggestion of the clothesline and letters. As a guess, I think separate shirts would be challenging to pull off, but a single shirt, potentially embroidered or otherwise bearing the name, hanging on a clothesline would be cool. This scheme also seems like it would work somewhat independently of choice of name. --[[User:Curtbeckmann|Curtbeckmann]] 15:32, 24 September 2006 (PDT)

| The hands photo is a "concept". I propose either a handshake, or a "high five" with appropriate stuff in the background. The photo above is okay, multiethnic, but kids. The micro photo is a "favicon" made from a section of the same photo. If you use Firefox, you can associate the favicon (click on it to download to your machine) with Appropedia by downloading the appropriate version of Favicon_Picker extension (see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=321562). It's an xpi file that I didn't know what to with at first; open the "extensions" window in Firefox and drag the xpi file into it. Install, restart Firefox, right click bookmark, select properties and it's straight forward. --[[User:Curtbeckmann|Curtbeckmann]] 22:08, 29 September 2006 (PDT)

| The iStock solar cooker photo is easy to buy (about $1). I think the teapot spout detail of the solar cookers could be picked up as favicon. I'll try that when I'm bored. --[[User:Curtbeckmann|Curtbeckmann]] 19:26, 1 October 2006 (PDT)
| | * [[Appropedia:About]] |
| :Solar cookers are an excellent example of AT, but wrot with controversy over failed aid-based projects. That said, I do think we should try to incorporate solar elements into the logo if we can. Just some intial comments. Let's keep putting out ideas for awhile. --[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 20:08, 1 October 2006 (PDT)

| :I like the concept of '''7. el concepto mi'''. Sun, wind power, water in different forms, plants including cattail (wastewater treatment plant). I would like to see this more finished, with the name more apparent and with some people in silhouette (is that possible?). Thank you [[User:Tressie|Tressie]] for the great draft.--[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 00:42, 4 October 2006 (PDT)

| :::I like Tressie's (#7, or #8 is my hacked version) so much, I made a new favicon (8a). Looks cool as the mini-logo associated with Appropedia in my Firefox browser (see above on how to do that...all that work is not necessary once we choose an official logo, we can also define the favicon). --[[User:Curtbeckmann|CurtB]] 22:21, 29 October 2006 (PST)

| ==New Logo==
| | * [[Appropedia:Logo/Alternative logos|Alternative logos]] |
| Hi All, What do you think of the new logo and favicon? I was thinking maybe a favicon that included the 3 grey radial parts of the logo... but I like this for now. In addition, we need to keep working on a subtitle. Awesome work, [[User:Tressie|Tressie]]! --[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 18:41, 5 November 2006 (PST)
| | * [[Appropedia:Logo/Subtitles|Subtitles]] |
| :I like the new logo '''''a lot!''''' Regarding the favicon, it looks like it was developed from an underlying element of the logo and not the final logo itself. To me, it looks a bit like a daisy, and not like windmill vanes. I uploaded the 9b version of a favicon, which is derived directly from the logo, and which I think looks a bit more like vanes of a windmill, and seems to me to have a clearer linkage with the logo. Not sure how I'd feel about a favicon with the 3 grey radials.
| |
| :Having said all that, if the consensus is for "9a" over "9b", I will totally support that. Probably want to develop a consensus quickly, in a day or two. --[[User:Curtbeckmann|CurtB]] 20:44, 5 November 2006 (PST)
| |
| ::I notice that I no longer get a favicon of any kind, even on my office machine (that I didn't muck around with regarding favicons). Did something happen? I'd be perfectly happy with "9a", since no one else seemed to mind about it. :-) --[[User:Curtbeckmann|CurtB]] 16:50, 14 November 2006 (PST)

| ==Subtitle==
| | [[Category:About Appropedia]] |
| Rather than "The Free Encyclopedia" on the top left of every page, how about something like:
| | [[Category:Videos]] |
| | | [[Category:Videos about Appropedia]] |
| * A living library of appropriate technology
| |
| * A living library of appropriate technology and development issues
| |
| * Appropriate technology, development and sustainability
| |
| | |
| While I always like to be comprehensive, something short and snappy would be best for a subtitle... --Singkong2005 t - c 23:19, 28 June 2006 (PDT) ''(from [[Appropedia_talk:Village_pump#Change_subtitle|Village pump]])''

| Isn't that what we're trying to do from a "destination" perspective? That is, aren't appropriate and sustainable technologies and development techniques a means to that end? Well, really I was just aiming for snappy --[[user:Curtbeckmann|Curtbeckmann]]
