The idea was just that a smaller logo looks more like a link button. Large logos tend to look too much like identifying labels for the page they are on. (What I would most like to see is for us to have an official link graphic, that looks basically like the regular logo but has the word "Visit" or "Go to" on it. You don't usually say "Visit" or "Go to" somewhere if you're already there. Then it could be any size; it could take up half a page if you wanted. I'm pretty sure that Tim's main reason for telling USGenNet not to use our logo was that their original index page looked too much like it was the official USGenWeb Project state links page. Now it doesn't have that problem, now it instead looks like it is a state links page for some hypothetical other project named "the Nonprofit USGenWeb Project." I suppose with enough identifying text, such as "Click on this logo to go to the home page of The USGenWeb Project", a full-size logo could be OK on a non-USGenWeb page. What we are hoping to see is a page that clearly refers to the real USGenWeb Project, and yet is recognizable as not being an official USGenWeb Project page. It is just a page of links, with special emphasis given to the states that are stored on USGenNet, similar to the link pages that Rootsweb has that give special emphasis to USGenWeb pages stored on Rootsweb. -- Teri
