I think giving users the option makes much more sense ( since not everyone thinks the same way), and of course the screen space argument too - en.wikipedia.org Visual thinking, also called visual/spatial learning, picture thinking, or right brained learning, is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing. [1] Visual thinking has been described as seeing words as a series of pictures.[ citation needed] It is common in approximately 60%–65% of the general population. [1] "Real picture thinkers", those persons who use visual thinking almost to the exclusion of other kinds of thinking, make up a smaller percentage of the population. Research by child development theorist Linda Kreger Silverman suggests that less than 30% of the population strongly uses visual/spatial thinking, another 45% uses both visual/spatial thinking and thinking in the form of words, and 25% thinks exclusively in words. According to Kreger Silverman, of the 30% of the general population who use visual/spatial thinking, only a small percentage would use this style over and above all other forms of thinking, and can be said to be 'true' "picture thinkers"

<i.What it says is that logos for subject boards are here to stay, as they should be. This despite the repetitive noise, much of it without constructive suggestions and/or feedback that has been generated on this and other related boards. What the "noise,' as you call it, says is that many people don't like having the logos on the Subject Marks page. Perhaps you like it, that is nice, but It makes the make more difficult to read for many of us. If you would tell me what is objectionable about giving the user the option of making the default subject page logoless, then I would be grateful. You like one appearance, I like another--that is the way of the world. I don't want the appearance that you like imposed on me, you don't want the appearance I want imposed on you. That too is the way of the world. It would seem to be an easy thing to fix and make both of us happy. I don't understand why Dmitri wouldn't do it or why you would object to it.
