This isn't a comment on the blog entry. a blogger cited your group: http://www.dennishollingsworth.us/archives/001170.html The logo he displayed struck me...flames in a trident shape. It seems perfect as a logo for a nonprofit I'm trying to establish for advancing the treatment of addiction. Flames representing destruction, the trident is a symbol for Shiva, god of destruction and renewal. It's another way of capturing the concept of the Phoenix, the bird that rises from ashes. The Phoenix is over-used as a symbol for addiction and recovery, and who knows what a phoenix actually looks like, anyway? Flames are obvious, though, and the trident symbolism is easily explained. In other words, I'm asking for permission to adopt it for non-commercial / nonprofit purposes. We have no budget. All you'd get is good karma, and a little footnote on the web site...
