Yes, please do.  It's increasingly clear that we need a completely new
logo.  Thank you.

It needn't have anything in common with the old one, except that it,
too, should have something to do with both Washington DC and with
science fiction.

The Capitol dome is an obvious choice, but the Washington Monument, a
perspective view of the whole mall, and a stylized map of the area are
other possibilities for the "W" half.

For the "SF" half, a rocket, a stylized atom, or a propeller beanie is
traditional, though pretty much anything goes so long as the meaning
is clear.  I do hope we don't go with a dragon, like BSFS has, since
that's exclusively fantasy, not SF.

Maybe we should just use Joe Mayhew's t-shirt design?  Or is that
too "busy"?
