A friend of mine has a poster that says "the strongest human emotion is not love or hate; it's the desire to change someone's copy" with the word "change" scratched out and a scratched-out synonym for "change" is written below, followed by another synonym, etc. for the length of the page. Now, I would imagine this mailing list has a lot of designers on it, and I've never heard of two designers having the same idea (except in cases of plagerism, or when the design is "just in the air" which usually means the plagerism is popular but few know who originally did it.) I can't imagine a designer looking at another's idea and not wanting to change it a little. But I can imagine the Quest_for_the_Perfect_CSS_Logo stretching on to infinity, supported by legions of designers, some not even born yet. It looks like bad science fiction so far: in the year 4096, Jor Ka-el asks that the deadline be stretched out just once more, because s/he (we're not sure anymore) has come up with the perfect hologram of a cascading style sheet logo that sings and dances and even smells just right. Flickercladding not included. So, I think we should either decide on one logo soon (as in before the upcoming year), or just make it an annual thing to decide on a new logo for the upcoming year.
