[Clipart] Our future logo

[Chad]

I added a logo suggestion to the page, (I didn't mean for it to be on 
the main page!)  It's very rough, and someone with artistic skills can 
do a much better job with it.  But the main idea is an open door to an 
"endless" art gallery.  I think it symbolizes our project.  A limitless 
array of art, open to all who wish it.

Just an idea...
