Big Tent - Many Clowns...

[flint at flint.com]

Dear Jane,

Good point.  

I am pleased that the conversation now could move to a range of
brands....  

Moreover, could our "brand" be a style?   Note that all of the qualified
logos are of a similar style.  Google exploits this feature quite
nicely...

Note that I look forward to an opportunity to prosecute this discussion
in camera some time in the future...

Kindest Regards,

Paul Flint
