Jun,
First of all... let me clarify.
conditional = dependent upon
Here is the image the present logo is based on...
I hope it is now obvious that the Alex replacements your designers are
suggesting no longer looks like the original author of "the book". This is not just any dog Jun... it
is Alex... a main author (if not the author) of a book with historical importance
for OACS!
Leave the dog alone.
I have tried different color schemes Jun. I could not find anything except
light blue or light grey.
So here is my suggestion: I ask you now to put your personal preferences
aside a let some feedback on the modifications take place. I think we are
really close to a solution that will work.
