[FOSS4G2016] our Logo

[Jeff McKenna]

I would side with using design talent within our community, or a 
professional designer (meaning: not using 99designs etc).

For within our community: I am very impressed with Nicolas Bozon, from 
France: he created the FOSS4G-Asia logo 
(http://www.foss4g-asia.org/2014/), as well as the entire site for 
FOSS4G-Como (http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/).  Maybe Dennis could ping 
Nick for some input as well.
