yes, I can see your point,no problem I just wanted to try to contribute with something Anna Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 11:39:19 -0400 From: sarah.stierch(a)gmail.com To: gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Gendergap] "Mind the Gap" Barnstar/Award - I need your help! Hi Anna - Cool drawing! In my original email I was actually seeking something inspired by the "Mind the Gap" theme from the London underground. It is a cool drawing - but I do think having something more gender neutral will be ideal for this award (you can learn more about barnstars here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Barnstars ). While she has quite the personality (it appears an angry one, and many of us can relate to that!) the "vagina vision" (ha!) might make it a little odd to give to men and for men to give to others. Thank you for your effort! -Sarah Stierch On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 4:10 AM, anna jonsson &lt;annabarro(a)hotmail.com&gt; wrote: Hi everyone, I'm an artist,and recently found out about this gendergap list amazing work you have done! so I send a proposal for the logo...

Hi everyone, I recently mentioned the idea of the "Mind the Gap" barnstar/award. The term "mind the gap" is in reference to the warning set forth by the London underground to warn people to make sure they pay attention the space between the train door and the station platform (learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_the_gap). Are you a designer? Or do you know a designer who would be happy to volunteer their time to creating an award for Wikimedians who work hard to close the gap within Wikimedia through outreach, welcoming, standing up for others, writing about and maintaining women's articles or related images, and forth....? Here is the original "Mind the Gap" logo...which I believe is under copyright?: http://www.earthpm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mind_the_gap.png Here is a cool feminist spin on it: http://londonstudentfeminists.blogspot.com/ Another fun piece of inspiration - the German women's movement logo of the 1970: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Womanpower_logo.svg I tried to develop something myself, but, my own skills are rather pathetic in regards to design. I will award you with a barnstar of your own and a beer if I ever meet you (or a beverage of your choice) - or the designer you recruit!! And of course fanatically praise the awesome-ness you or the designer are through Twitter, Wikipedia, mailing lists and beyond.. <3 THANK YOU for your consideration! -Sarah Stierch -- GLAMWIKI Partnership Ambassador for Wikimedia Wikipedian-in-Residence, Archives of American Art and Sarah Stierch Consulting Historical, cultural & artistic research & advising. ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sarahstierch.com/ _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap -- GLAMWIKI Partnership Ambassador for Wikimedia Wikipedian-in-Residence, Archives of American Art and Sarah Stierch Consulting Historical, cultural & artistic research & advising. ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sarahstierch.com/ _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

I think it's pretty cool too! I'm not sure...the blog hasn't been updated in a while, but they have a Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=59200549800&ref=ts They are the London Student Feminists. Should I write to see what they think? Panyd - Do you know anyone there? -Sarah On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Andreas Kolbe &lt;jayen466(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: -- GLAMWIKI Partnership Ambassador for Wikimedia <http://www.glamwiki.org> Wikipedian-in-Residence, Archives of American Art<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SarahStierch> and Sarah Stierch Consulting *Historical, cultural & artistic research & advising.* ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sarahstierch.com/
