Thank you Jonas and Giulia for the comments and feedback. I mostly agree with both of you. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_MSFontService, -apple-system, Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
If I remember correctly, we're allowed 1-2 rounds of edits so if we can agree on a direction soon, we can share it with Ray and they can reflect the changes! </div>

Our next meeting with Ray is scheduled for Feb 4th from 10AM. It would be great if we can talk about the design on the 3rd! </div>

<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>and thank you Meg. <br>
<br>
I have the impression that the two options propose different objects, like in the first one there are more options for logos, in the second there is a style for potential visualizations? The two proposals do not look "symmetrical". <br>
<br>
I really appreciate the designer's conceptual starting point (from pixelled to rounded) and I like the arrows thingy in logo Option 2. </p>
<p>Some critical comments, but of course this is just my opinion. I did not find the palettes convincing; if I had to chose one I'd go for Palette number 4 in Option 1, because I think it brings together some "earthy" colours with some "cyberpunk" colours,
which is a bit what I envisioned. In logo number 1, the O of DATAGOV looks like a bit like a U. <br>
<br>
Anyway, I am happy to participate to the meeting with the designer to discuss these and more ideas together :) </p>
<p>Thanks again, </p>
<p>Best, <br>
Giulia</p>

Ray has sent us a few options for our visual identity. Please have a look and share your thoughts if you have any! We can discuss during our in-person meeting on the 3rd, perhaps.</div>
