    I'm just busting your satchel.

    The logo isn't bad but it looks really really familiar to me. I'm thinking I've seen it before...but maybe it could just be that I've seen a ton of logos with a + in them...who knows.

    My guess, and hope, is that it has something to do with using our skills as designers to help out people less fortunate.

    A lot of us use our skills to help these mega-huge-multi-nationals (or even sizable regionals) convince people to buy their products or use their services, etc. which, depending on your views, hurts this planet and the people on it.

    So, in effect, we are using our talent to help degrade this planet....why not create something where we can use our talent for good.

    I know my argument is a bit disconnected but just work with me here people...work with me.

    So why not help people who could use our talent but normally can't afford us so we can help give a voice to their cause or whatever and we, in return, get a nice little paycheck from Moral, Inc. or Karma, Co.

    Either way, if you're helping people out who need to be helped and you're not screwing over the people doing the helping then more power to you.

    If that is the case then consider me first in line.
