Hi, I agree a lot with Gregoire.
I particularly don't like the SEMA NTICS and FREE DOM splits,
miss the swirl, and also I think the colors are kind of bleak,
depressive color hues. Can we make more happy colors, and with
the swirl? I also don't recognize the painting and don't see
its connection to FSCONS.

Sorry to be negative. :-/
