Thanks a lot for your proposal.

Cool, so I added the three versions to the contest. I think we don't
need to decide now on one version or the other, but can refine later on
if you concept is chosen.

Since you create it using Illustrator I guess that it will be
straightforward to provide us with an SVG version on request.

That would work too.

Yes, that's why have a tagline on the logo is not part of our requirements.

We don't use Skype :)
