Now THAT'S constructive critism! Yeah, the color combo on the old one was the first thing my friend griped about too. And I've always kinda had a problem with it too, especially after I put the logo on a shirt I was wearing. Guess what I was going for were colors that would symbolize the green of the land here and the blue of the water.

Another thing, maybe not a big deal, is the three states. Our group covers more than just the three states. The mountains might indeed be a good alternative to still get that NW flavor, but without setting any borders.

To expand on the mountain idea, maybe have the mountains going down with the ocean beside them. Nowhere else but the NW do you have mountains like we do so close to saltwater.

I've got a few other logo choices that myself and some others are working on, I'll probably put up another poll when they are ready and try to keep who make each one anonymous so there is no bias or hard feelings.
