<p>We have the name (CrossValidated.com), now it is a good time to revive this topic. The final design will be made by <a href="http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/our-designer-in-residence-jin-yang/" rel="nofollow">Jin Yang</a>, but we can give him some ideas. So:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>What ideas for a logo do you have?</strong><br>
  Can be a description, visual concept, sketch; Jin prefers grayscale pictures, while they are not color-biased.</li>
<li><strong>What should be the colour palette of the site?</strong><br>
  This is a standard starting point; what is "the colour of statistics"? Amaranth? Light? Dark? Colorful? Cool? Warm? Is it also a colour of statistical computing?</li>
<li><strong>What should be the design style?</strong><br>
  Modern/old-school? Baroque/simple? Stack-overflowish/completely different?</li>
<li><strong>What the design itself should resemble?</strong><br>
  Random inspirations; data sheets, Gaussian curves, bookshelves, boxplots? Some pictures/photos can be also useful.  </li>
</ul>

<p>One answer per idea, so we can vote.</p>

<p>Like our site name, it needs to be something that reflects the full scope of our site... statistical analysis, data mining, machine learning, probability, data visualization and statistical computing.</p>
