Okay, we are taking a vote. There is some division about the preferred new SFW logo designs created so artfully by Mr. Michael Shannon. So I decided to have a vote. If you prefer the Full Owl or the Owl Eye, please indicate so in the comments below. I will say that we give it one week before the consensus is made. Remember, this will be our trademark, non profit logo forever!

I like the eye logo...seems more interesting and more likely to get someone to take notice to it.
Okay Folks,
I said that we would give this thing a week or so and it looks as if the full owl logo is the vote getter. Like you guys, I see merit to every incarnation but we need to get this over to Michael. Over at the Backcountry Tax blog folks are throwing out names for our new owl. Please come over and share your thoughts on that subject. Thanks for taking the time to voice an opinion.
John
Martin, That is a beautiful thought. Thanks for sharing it. I am, of course, partial to the owl but will agree with whatever this group decides about the logo. If folks like Michael's new design, then please indicate so because he is awaiting our decision before moving forward. Let's put wednesday down as the last day for voting.
Michael,
Every now and again Myers will invoke a compelling thought! Like Eric, I dig it.
Sweet! Dig it!!
I LIKE IT ALOT!
While the Owl outline is missing, it still looks like a bird of prey.
I LIKE IT!
I wanted to stay out if this discussion since I've already said all I need to say to John. But Myers Morton presented a compelling thought that I hadn't considered and so I offer this in answer to his suggestion.
While I like them both, my choice would be the first one without the owl. My rationale being that with the second one, the eye is drawn exclusively to the owl as the main focal point of the logo leaving what I feel should be the true focal point (the forest, inside the eye) as mere background to be, at best, absorbed as an afterthought and, more likely, considering the average American attention span, dismissed altogether. After all--they've seen the owl--they understand. :-) The question, or so it seems to me, is what do you want someone unaffiliated with the organization to take from the logo. Is this about birds or forests?
Regardless,I agree wholeheartedly with Rob about the T-shirt design--fantastic concept. I'd sure as hell buy one! Also, Gregg has a good point about the watermark and letterhead. I think either logo is a good choice (though I prefer the first) and both are amazingly well designed--kudos to the artist and the concept!
