Hi Gert-Jan,

> 1) it's 6 hours and 40 minutes since you posted this initial version. Please give this list some more time to have a look at it and give some comments.
No problem, I have a free day tomorrow and can wait ;-).

For the poster we used only existing logos/banners. Yes, you're right, 
to put the "Building bridges" or other things into the poster is much 
more complicated. So, we'll wait for more comments, make our thoughts 
afterwards and find a way to make the mission possible.

Best regards

Volker
