I'll try the layout you suggest with superimposed letters.

Yeah, that's nice. (I wish I could knock up "awful drafts" like that so quick...)
I would just like to make a couple of suggestions. Firstly, let's keep the elephant gold. And, following a minimalistic approach, we could perhaps have just gaps for eyes instead of too much detail. Rimby can stay so long as he doesn't end up looking too playboy-esque. 
But you know what, if that's your awful draft the real thing must be amazing. So just go ahead and do whatever you imagined, don't let me throw you off.

Real life coming in the way I don't think I'll have the logo ready until the week end of August 14. I hope it won't be too late for advertising the Festival. If someone can make it faster please go ahead. Chat room v2 will suffer the same delay.
Thank you for all the suggestions, I'm all ears for more. And yes, Rimbit seems to sneak in everywhere  Maybe I'll remove it, or make it more discrete.

Nah, I was just kidding, I love seeing Rimbit (why did I call him [or her?] Rimby?)

@chessandgo: I did sense the joking tone, no worries
But I'm a bit worried about the rabbit becoming a mere scribble when the logo is reduced, or it looking like the playboy rabbit as megajester said.
And Rimby looks like a fine nickname for Rimbit.
I managed some time for more drafts to keep the machine going.
I should try an Asian elephant for a change though - what do you guys think?
For this one I picked the exact colors of the game interface:
And this one is an alternate view:
And that's just Rimbit acting up:
I'll tackle the dreaded vector drawing next week end.

You know what, I really like the "alternate view." It's fun! And you can have the writing to one side of it instead of on top.

Taken from a site development thread:

A strategy workshop needs a board that everyone can see, on which I can enter moves and take them back arbitrarily.

Someone suggested netmeeting style software. I'd just like to point out, I noticed skype has a 'share my screen' option. Also I think skype can do conference calls, so assuming Fritzlein has a fast internet connection, maybe that's an option??
Edit:
A quick web search also gave a few different screen sharing options with free trials. Assuming fritz has access to Windows: http://www.beamyourscreen.com . Viewers use a web interface.
Another option may be to use a plugin for VLC media player to capture a window as video and live stream it. Then it could always be mirrored by arimaa.com to cut down fritzlein's required bandwidth.
Can you tell I'm looking forward to a strategy workshop?
cheers,
knarl.

I do have Skype and a fast Internet connection. Do you want to schedule a time to test the "share my screen" feature?

I looked into sharing a screen using Skype for school, and Skype directed me to a program called InnerPass. Only the person sharing needs to have the software, but they need to invite the viewers personally. I just checked, and it seems you can give out a code generated for your meeting, so all people have to do is go to www.innerpass.com, click on "join a screen sharing session," and enter the code and their name.
My group members also informed me that conference calls with video cannot be done for free on Skype. This information comes with limited research on my part, so feel free to investigate further.
Hope this helps,

Sure. I'm available between about 0700 and 1200 GMT most week days, and 0000 to 1200 GMT on weekends. As long as I have a day or two notice.
Cheers,
knarl.

How long ago are you talking? Skype is faily actively developed. Maybe they got the idea for screen sharing off you

OK, let's shoot for 0800 GMT August 19 for testing Skype screen share.

OK, we can meet in the chatroom. Anyone else that can show up would be handy, to test conferencing. Should we also test a backup system to Skype? Like one of the web based desktop sharing systems?
cheers,

If a web based system can be found that works, it would save people from having to setup another voice chat program.
