Re: [atomic-devel] Project Atomic Logo - please comment/vote

Update: Thanks to Jason Brooks, we found the original logo artist including the fonts used - that means we can recreate the logos for FAW and FAH in the same style as the old logo.

Let me know your votes (1, 2, 3) and/or proposed changes to either of them on Wednesday in the atomic-wg meeting or here, if you cannot attend.
