Greetings Josh!

In fact lots of work has been done on this by Christian, see for example:
http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Logo
http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Website

and, in beta:

May I suggest you join the Marketing list?

We have IRC meetings on Tuesdays at 1600 UTC:

We are gearing up for the imminent Sugar 0.84 release.


Thanks
