Still more on new OS/2 developments
Lewis Rosenthal:
I feel like we've been slash dotted... ::)
Consider this a soft launch, as we wanted to at least share some information about what's been going on behind the scenes. There is plenty more to come in terms of content and layout (the shop isn't open yet, for example).
Still, it's nice to see that people are watching. Enjoy!

It will be good to see all the things that Arca Noae has in mind.

Ah!
Is that the Mâgên Dâwîd I see only slightly concealed in there?
It surely is. ;)
Lewis is showing his roots. :)
Now, who else can see the tie between the name and the symbol... did "I" say symbol?.. surely I meant logo? ;)
A nice logo though, all the same. No fool created it.
It isn't easy to create a logo meeting all of the basic requirements and still make it work... particularly given the gross plethora of logos/symbols out there today that is also based upon the Mâgên Dâwîd, and not step upon someone else's toes.

Sorry this reply is so late! We've been rather busy...

Actually, Ben, no Hebrew symbolism intended at all (we're non-sectarian, don't you know). :D We still have a bunch of those blasted web fonts and icon fonts to exorcise from the page templates (you should see the back end of a modern WordPress site...under OS/2, it is barely legible without the Classic Admin plugin for WordPress).
So, if you happen to spy an odd-looking glyph for an arrow or some other navigation icon, it's likely just one more nit we haven't got around to swatting, yet!
Cheers!
Ben:
Really Lewis; there's no intended relationship between your Noah's Arc and the Hexagram, (Star of David), in your logo be it a boat in the water, (male & female), or any other variant of the duad?
If that is true, then clearly things were bubbling up from the subconscious of the creator(s) of the name/logo; the connection is obvious and undeniable.
No biggie of course, non-sectarian, Kharzian, (Ashkanazi), Sephardi, or otherwise, it hardly matters. The earth soon enough, will be completely worldly, (secular), as we are all made into one gigantic hodgepodge neither left nor right, neither Jew nor Gentile, neither male nor female. Today it is moving so fast that anyone can see the advancement on a monthly basis whereas thirty years ago only the most observant could see it.. and then over years.
Good job on the site, BTW... if you didn't already get that from my previous post, Lewis, et al. It's only a matter of time and I'll be signing up; gotta support those who support my favourite OS! 8) I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring to us in the future.
Good luck with it and a big "thumbs up!" 8) . (I dispise those juvenile emoticons.)
Lewis Rosenthal:
LOL!
Thanks, Ben...

I couldn't agree more.
On a more topical note, I really (really) had nothing to do with the graphics whatsoever. In fact, the artist (these were professionally done) didn't even know me. I got to see all of that work sort of after-the-fact.
Now, if you ever have occasion to visit our Mantis BugTracker, I did have something to do with merging those two images, and while I usually do most of my own graphics work on OS/2, I confess that I used GIMP on openSuSE (mainly because I was just too lazy to get up from where I was sitting in the server room, so I used what was at hand). ;)
Please also (everyone) check out our FAQ section, which we will be expanding (and likely breaking into multiple pages, as it seems to me that it's already - with the handful of entries it has - getting cumbersome to navigate.
Cheers
