NJA Logo

You can still contribute to the perfect NJA logo quest.

As for now we received 3 logos (2 by Perry, 1 by mentar) but other members said they were interested in creating their own designs.

Please add your creations to this mailing list thread so all members can see them and comment:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/not-just-arduino/oPrMdG62xAA/discussion

For inspiration you can compare to what the other London Hackspace subgroups have done:

Music Hackspace logo http://bit.ly/Sstcvz

Video Hackspace logo http://www.videohackspace.org/

Graphics Hackspace logo https://twitter.com/ihackgraphics

Should we put a deadline for the logo contributions so we can vote on the more popular design?

Subgroups and the New Space layout

We will move soon to a new space and if you think our group needs some requirements (like other sub-groups), please contribute to the wiki page:
