Not sure what you mean by the old Haiku logo...unless you mean that it
isn't white. White font is hard to print.
I really like the general concept of wrapping everything in one window
with the big title tab. The flyer needs to stand out in a crowded
bulletin board and this is pretty unique. As a result, there's less of
a need for the other standout tricks. The big '?' and fonts could be
reduced in size and you wouldn't have everything bump into the top of
the window.
