    We need a simple, clean logo for the site. Any ideas?

    i suggest something that doesn’t have any “classical islam” connotations — i.e. tile murals, calligraphy. i’m sick of all that. how about something 2.0-ish + cool?

    andrea, that sound appealing, but it should retain some element of islamic symbolism. can we draw a stylized astrolabe to mimic the Apple logo, for example?

    i think that’s the issue: islamic symbolism. maybe time for some new symbols, in my mind. the old ones are as cliched as the quran verses on the black velvet backgrounds.

    i think the blog Islam Crunch has a nice logo look — some elements of tradition, but clearly something new.

    ali if you can dress up in The Full Mullah and give me a Fatwah Pose I will put it somewhere on site.

    PS since we’re on comments–why is the book widget below filled with Jafi tomes?

  • aziz 10:21 pm on June 2, 2008 | #

    because amazon seems to have a sense of humor. Plus, it’s useful to squeeze some dinars outta the lurkers who are here to observe the Orcs.
