WEB: Re: SCN: A "thumbs-up" for SCN - update

[Randy Groves]

I'm willing to wait and see what the list is, but another suggestion for a
contender - the pictorial aspects of the present logo, as they are, but
touched up by a graphics guru.  I like the confluence of Hermes, the
mountain, and the Space Needle - all elements that immediately identify
our locality and local character.  I would much prefer that we stay
connected to those elements than craft an 'Exxon'-type logo - one that is
more generic advertising (even though it may look really cool).

I don't mean to offend anyone that may have done a lot of work in crafting
new ideas.
