Going with the ask idea, a very minimal attempt.

Would look good on a t-shirt? :dunno:
I once applied for a job as a mustard cutter.

But unfortunately I wasn’t quite good enough.

That's clever, akigr8, but I find it a bit confusing to read. What with the L being the K and all.

LIFE, that one of yours might just be puzzling to joe bloggs: it has the density of symbolism of a secret society!

I don't think the symbolism is dense at all. I think both the 'ask' and the lightbulb/question mark are quite apt and accessible.

As much as I love it (because of the history behind it) the 'lifeboat' symbol is probably more 'secret society-ish' than the other symbols.

You know what we need? Something like RD's biomorph program. Then we could sort of evolve our way to a logo. :smile:
