Each country is different and families and friends of detainees need to have advice that is relevant to them in their countries. In some countries it may endanger a detainee if a large public awareness campaign is launched; on the other hand in other places it can make a difference. Let's create a site with a wiki system with advice that pertains to each locale so that friends and family can know how best to act to protect their loved ones.

Everyone in Caldas is an Entrepreneur, that's something we learned in the inspiration phase. What if there was a service that trained people in the skills to turn those entrepreneurial instincts into viable social businesses?

The oceans are critical to our survival as a species and to life on Earth as we know it. From a human perspective, the developing world gets 40% of its protein from the Sea, we use it for commerce: shipping, for travel, the seas are a potential international security problem and a massive part of the smuggling issue. There are many policies and ways in which the seas are regulated, but frequently they are ignored and ill-policed.

playing on the O and I to create something iconic, and playful

This logo uses colour and network lines and nodes to represent the health of the openIDEO network. Whilst the type remains static, it provides a visual mask for the dynamic visualisation in the background. A simple O with network lines eminating from the centre could form the icon.

Using the I and the O rather than the full text might be powerful, and may work well as the icon in the browser, or for smaller contexts, like banners. The O is meant to be a lock, and the i is overlayed as a person, unlocking it.

Building on the theme of parts making a whole, the logo is constructed of lots of little people, representing the communal nature (and one of the community principles) of openIDEO.
