Andy,

Sorry about delay in responding. I've been busy!

I still feel that the logos make the poster look too busy. Also, as I tried to 
mention previously (I guess that message was blocked because of an 
attachment), I feel that a poster would have more impact if the main feature 
was LINUX rather than a (possibly) confusing array of unfamiliar emblems.

It's hard enough to explain to most people the concepts behind Linux and open 
source stuff without getting into the pros and cons of the many distros that 
are available.

By now, most people will have seen TUX.

I've posted an updated version of my old poster for comment at:
<http://slscope.co.uk/Documents/LinuxAdvert3.odt>

Obviously this would need to be further modified, for example: to link with 
the LUG.

Regards

Ken hough
