While some projects have built their own logos, there’s not a lot of consistency and we don’t encourage them to protect the brand equity of the OpenStack logo.

It sounds like the key issue for WOO is to have a mark of distinction on a badge or on a participant, which could also be used in a pamphlet or presentation. In lieu of a logo contest, may I suggest that a few WOO folks work with the foundation design team to discuss how we can help identify members? We can discuss badge options, etc. Perhaps at the Monday meeting, 2 or 3 people could volunteer to guide that?

Some events like the Linux Con events, allow you to select various topics that you want showing on your badge.  So people know the topics you are interested in.  This could be where we could identify ourselves as part of WOOS and knowledgeable.
