Hey, Everybody, Should We Have a New Name and a New Logo?
When Ceri and I started this network, we took the name from a blog that he was doing and our original idea was that we wanted to make a place on the internet where people of Welsh descent in the US could go to find each other and to find out about Wales and where we could all learn more about Welsh-American history.
Since then, it's really turned into something a lot bigger and we now have members from everywhere: people who live in Wales, the US, Canada, Mexico, Korea, Australia, Uruguay and elsewhere all over and so I was thinking that maybe we need a logo and a name that includes everyone. Maybe the americymru name and logo could just be a Welsh-American sub-group.
Does anyone have any input or ideas or anything they'd like to on this?

Brilliant, Christopher! And I did misunderstand you, I just didn't want that thing to rachet up anymore. Sorry, I'm one of those chicks that just really can't bear discord and scurries around telling everyone to calm down.
I had something like this same thought but you've gone way further in design concepts for different countries - maybe we could include groups with these logos on here?

You guys are really thinking. Gaabi, you and Ceri have done so much of the work, I hope you keep your fingers in the pie and don't change it too much...this adding groups if other countries start a group is the best of the ideas, I think. And thanks for keeping it calm and clean...I am trying to encourage the family to participate.
The fact that you are even discussing this is a testiment to your success. Congrats.

Mae rheswm da arall dros gadw'r enw, sef taw ym Mericia y dechreuodd y peth ac o fan hyn mae'n cael ei redeg.
Byddai'n drueni newid ffocws y peth hyd yn oed cyn iddo gael cyfle i ymsefydlu'n iawn.
Wn i ddim beth sy'n bod ar y logo, chwaith - mae'n syml, mae'n drawiadol... bydd angen rhywbeth da iawn i'w guro!

I would keep the name but maybe, if possible, change the logo so it represents the whole of the Americas not just the USA.

I agree with Mark, keep the name, focus on North & South America, keeping the AmeriCymru name and brand relevent. If expats in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England, Middle East etc want to create sub-groups within the site they should be more than welcome to do so. Have no idea on how to change the logo though, stumped on that one!

I have one thing to say on the logo topic. I recently bought an AmeriCymru hat and sweatshirt and I feel that the logo on the sweatshirt is superior. Instead of the rather busy looking flag-within-dragon logo, the one on the sweatshirt is a traditional red dragon on a background of an american flag segment (the segment occupying the same territory as the green on the Welsh flag). It is bold and balanced looking and the message comes through. You can check it out in the AmeriCymru store.

Meical,
You also seem to forget that St. Patrick was Welsh!
