The new Quaker logo doesn't seem to have won Friends or influenced people. We arrived on Monday to a flood of fuming letters sparked by Barry Wilsher’s opening shot.

What is it about this inoffensive little emblem which has so outraged the design sensibilities of Friends?

Eye personally finds it innocuous, if unimaginative. It reminds us of an embryonic cell being pierced, which may have been the designer's intention, indicating the insertion of Quaker values into the human family. Perhaps spirited wall graffiti might have inspired a bolder logo. We were horrified at one reader's suggestion that the design should have gone for general consultation among Friends - it would have taken a century!

Instead, Eye would like to make our own contribution in the informal style we favour. Can readers, especially those who think they could 'do better on the back on an envelope', send us their own designs and we will publish one or two on q-eye.
