hello - I've been hanging around this list for a while, but this is my first post ... for my $0.10/£0.02p worth: I think the Arachne idea is _brilliant_! Wins my vote. I'd tend to agree that the relationship between "tapestry" and "unicorn" is tenuous at best. I have a background in both art history/theory/philosophy and design before moving into development, so I know what I'm talking about ;D How about a contemporary-style re-interpretation of something like this: http://www.hranajanto.com/pgfx/BW/Arachne-200.gif I think having something "feminine" is a good thing, too: I think it would give the framework a "softer" connotations than "masculine" or "abstract"; it could suggest "easy-to-use" etc I know many good designers who'd would probably be happy to have a go at this for you for gratis. Anyway: back to list watching! :D Chris p.s. Tapestry is fantastic - I hope to get more involved with it (and this list) over the coming months ******************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient.
