Thank you Jonas and Giulia for the comments and feedback. I
mostly agree with both of you. </div>

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>
