Since it is still unknown if we can deploy the solar panels why would a 
logo be chosen that might not even represent what AO-40 will look like in 
operation? If the panels can be used then the logo will be great. But if 
they can't the logo will only serve to remind all of us of the failure of 
AO-40 to achieve its goals.
