All our logos are not square, but I just made you one :)  here you go

I think it's a good idea to be able to link those marketing materials in 
friendfeed, or add favourite pictures from other people.
Since I am not a regular flickr user,  I am not familiar with those 
features. And youtube's blocked in China. Actually we will be working on 
some videos to promote SFD in 2011, youtube account is probably 
necessary. There is a software freedom day account: from 
softwarefreedomday.eu.  can we contact the owner to be able to post 
videos sharing the same group / account as them? :)

Sounds great! I will definitely introduce ANSOL to the board and see 
their feedback, will keep you posted later!
Thanks a lot!
