Proposal for small change to Fluid and Floe logos

[Colin Clark]

Andrés is on to something, though not necessarily with the logo itself. We should really replace the Comic Sans option in UI Options with the open dyslexia font. What do you all think? Seems like it would be useful.

Our approach has been to find something that is universally understandable and readable or recognizable — these seem the goals for a logo.
