A Welsh Social Network - Rhwydwaith Cymdeithasol Cymreig

Hey, Everybody, Should We Have a New Name and a New Logo?

When Ceri and I started this network, we took the name from a blog that he was doing and our original idea was that we wanted to make a place on the internet where people of Welsh descent in the US could go to find each other and to find out about Wales and where we could all learn more about Welsh-American history.

Since then, it's really turned into something a lot bigger and we now have members from everywhere: people who live in Wales, the US, Canada, Mexico, Korea, Australia, Uruguay and elsewhere all over and so I was thinking that maybe we need a logo and a name that includes everyone. Maybe the americymru name and logo could just be a Welsh-American sub-group.

Does anyone have any input or ideas or anything they'd like to on this?

Or, if you wanted something more formal that would reflect a more global participation of Welsh diaspora.. how's about "WORLD WIDE WELSH"?
Get it? "WWW"?-- Oh, I'm good..; ▶ Reply to This
