<div dir="ltr"><div>I really like it--especially the speech balloon--but have 3 suggestions related to function/aim (channeling my retired marketing manager Dad and noting my near-sightedness and squinting I do at conferences reading slides/posters):</div><div><br></div><div>1. A devil's advocate position about including "UCR" somewhere: it is valuable from a branding perspective to explicitly associate the initiative with our campus. Imagine presentation slides and posters of our work at conferences or other events. Audience members would automatically know it is an initiative to improve online discourse based out of our campus. Without that, the logo is more akin to some initiative run outside of a campus or that spans a number of institutions (e.g., a cross-campus/cross-sector research network). It might even be misread for an organization or association. Where to put it? Maybe a) the upper left corner or b) even adding "@UCR" on the bottom left. Personally speaking, I am part of a network based at UCSD with various UCSD affiliates/logos added to the network's website. It makes it clear there is stuff going on at that campus. Personally, I find UCR is rather weak on this front in terms of outward identity of initiatives/centers. This helps towards that end by explicitly saying, "IT'S HERE!"<br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Thinking about this logo and where it will appear (websites, slides, posters), cursive writing can sometimes be hard to read (especially if it is a part of a logo for slides or posters where such logos usually occupy a small part of the canvas. Maybe a different font? <br></div><div><br></div><div>3. Regardless of #2, "Enhancing online discourse" should be bigger/bolder and (ideally, to my eye) a different font from "Logos." I'm reading it now on a big screen and still it doesn't jump out. I can imagine reading that part from a distance. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Rich </div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>_________________________________________________<br></div>Richard M.
