Update #4: Two Logos, But Only One Show. DECISIONS!!!
F.O.B. (that's "friend of The Baristas") Rachel Arnold Sager and I have been coming up with possible logos for The Baristas, and we've settled on two possibilities. She favors one, I favor the other, and so we're doing the adult thing and getting some outside perspective -- yours.
So, which logo do you prefer? (And why?)
(Note that elements like font, size and the "sarcasm face" may still be tweaked before we come to a final design.)
By the way, we're past the halfway point of funding, so THANK YOU to everyone who's pledged their undying love, support and spare change to our project. It's all downhill (or uphill) from here, as we roll on toward the magic $3000 mark, at which point the funding becomes guaranteed, anyone who's pledged $25 or more gets a vote on casting, and marshmallow unicorns fall from the sky. So, by god, tell a friend.
PS If you'll be at PodCamp Pittsburgh 5 this weekend, so will I. LET'S BE FRIENDS ZOMG.
And remember, we can't spell "The Baristas" without "heat bra."
