Here's a VERY rough draft of a possible logo (I'm sure someone else can =
make it look more sleek):

About raven, is already "taken":
http://www.maven.co/

Some "sneaky peaks" for same named (but non related sites) -- just to =
see what others came up with:
http://www.maven-sf.com/
http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/maven/
http://www.php-maven.org/

And my personal fav:
http://mavenberlin.com/en

Their stylised "M" made out of two triangles is just great.


And then, as I also like abstract things a bit more than explicit =
drawings representing explicit stuff/beings, I figured what might =
represent visually Maven (I admit, was inspired with MavenBerlin =
intersecting triangles, as there, it reflects the intersection of =
multidisciplinary creativity):
a mountain(s), a twin peak ("M"), you have to climb..... (and everyone =
finish their story, mountain might be "effort", "knowledge", "sweat" or =
whatever :D )

Something like these

/s1600/snowcap2.png

And finally, just a quick quick silly draft of logos, two versions.

First, is obviously what maven is <today/> :D

Second is the one with stylized peaks, variations on "M as mountain" =
idea:D
