		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Logo for whom?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&gt; should the existing logo by reinvigorated by at least adding&lt;br /&gt;
&gt; some color? Should the texty-ness also be lowered?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It depends on what sort of people you want to like it. The changes you suggest will certainly be more appealing to people with short attention spans who can&#039;t read. Considering that they constitute the majority of the world&#039;s population, it may seem like a good thing, but when you recall that they are not the ones who can pay for research or ever be capable of doing any themselves, you may reconsider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&gt; Are there any more radical suggestions for a new&lt;br /&gt;
&gt; logo, perhaps incorporating a bio-medical motif?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nanotechnology is not just about medicine, so unless Foresight wishes to devote itself to exclusively promoting medical applications of nanotechnology, such a change would be misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&gt; Or should we just leave well enough alone? What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think you should. Or at least keep it a logo for engineers and scientists who will actually make nanotechnology happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;/p&gt;
