> Hi all: This is a logo idea I had that I wanted to float by folks.
> MapServer has always been tough to develop a logo for. I started
> thinking about the "map" part and what that meant and I was reminded
> of the first map I remember seeing on a regular basis - the folder
> highway map in my parents car. The base logo is just that, a folded
> map. It's simple and would reproduce nicely at small sizes so it
> could be used as an icon in a map or it could be developed into
> something more complex for use in print materials or web graphics.
> For example the panels in the logo could contain actual maps and so
> on. Attached are png and svg versions of a quick mock up I did. I'm
> interested if you like it as a concept. 
> 
> Those I have showed it to have responded positively. I think a
> graphics designer could run with the idea and give us a number of
> options to think about w/regards to shape colors, fonts and so on, so
> if you have such a person at your disposal...!

> Thanks!
