Proposal for small change to Fluid and Floe logos

[Jess Mitchell]

Andrés,

Thanks for passing this along. I can imagine this font being an ‘option’ in a preference within GPII, but for a logo it might be impractical to choose a font that accommodates a particular population. Our approach has been to find something that is universally understandable and readable or recognizable — these seem the goals for a logo.

Best,
Jess
