[Discuss] Call for ideas for the new Open Hardware Certification logo

[Jeffrey Warren]

Awesome. I think image uploading is now working -- can you give it a try on
the post?

There's also some good discussion about how tiny the logo would have to
appear when printed in very small spaces on PCBs. It might be good to have
a graphic mark accompanied by optional text.

Thanks!
