Q: What's the story behind the logo?
A: The logo is adopted from a 19th century Caligraph ad published by The American Writing Machine Co., as "Type Writer" was a Remington brand name at the time. The ad reads:
The "CALIGRAPH" is the only writing machine that fully economizes time and labor, and economy of time and labor is the best reason we know for soliciting trade.
"OPEN MEETINGS" has been substituted via GIMP and Inkscape for the original lettering of "CALIGRAPH". The logo is not trademarked and represents more of an methodology than a brand identity.
