I do know however that Marian has been busy because I emailed him quit a while back about another issue and he replied

I emailed asking about this after I asked about the logo and got a reply back. I just received this reply today. So I know he is busy or was on vacation because it took a long time for him to email me back. I think you should expect a response by the ends of this week. If you don't receive a reply by that time email him again. Note though that I do not think that will be approved again, however there is a chance. Good luck.

Marian is a "she," not "he."

Oh sorry, I didn't know. I get so used to saying he that its just something that I don't even think about. I will try not to make that mistake again.

Thanks about the logo. It only took me about an hour in photoshop. And I recieved permisison to use it on promotional items, like shirts, brochures etc. And I actually didn't recieve permission until mid-late January of this past season, because it was my teams tenth year in FIRST, so we created a special logo, and since there has been some talk of keeping it, I decided to check and see if we could get permission to have it on our website as well.(we would also have the official FIRST logo, with FIRST under it, as the link to the FIRST website.)

Well that’s different I mean you shouldn't have to worry about if they approve it or not if you are going to have the official FIRST logo. Although it would still good to get it checked out so FIRST doesn’t get mad for some reason. Too many rules , lol, j/k. So are you doing a whole new website design for the upcoming season?

Maybe, depends on what the website committee desides to do. First we want to try and get our current one working better, because we haven't really had anyone who knew PHP on the team and active enough since Joel left. If it proves to be too difficult we very well might change it, but only time will tell.

I modified the logo on the current version of our website but the one that I'm working on uses a white background so I won't modify it for the new one.

It's located at the top left of all pages. I removed the white background and added a shadow effect but it's not approved, so I didn't submit for the website award last year. Heh.

After talking with Marian I think that changing the background, the text color, and the color of the "(R)" is ok. I also believe that you can make the black border around the shapes is fine. I do not know about if you can shadow the image or not. But as long as you follow those guidelines and include the (R) you should be fine. Remember to email it to Marian Murphy or Ken Freitas to get it approved. Myself i would email it to Marian first and if you don't get a response back then email it to Ken Freitas. Good luck getting approved and hope to see you in the website competition this coming season.

Thanks,
