As our listeners, and anyone who visits our site, are probably aware, we need a logo. Since we added Bryan and Mike T, the old logo, which just featured a characture of Art and I just doesn't cut it. Art did a lot of work on our site to get this new theme running, and we've been using the default drupal logo.

The default logo looks much like a blue baby, and we've had several people ask if it's in fact Art and Bryan's blue love child. OK, no one has asked that yet, but I know it's coming.
