[ux] Creative brief for the style guide

[Sara Sinclair Brody]

First: Nima, thank you for the reminder on mailing list etiquette. It's
been a long time since I really had a mailing list as part of my regular
workflow! My apologies.

Next: Sajolida, this is an excellent point. I am so curious to know how it
is that these different versions of the logo came into being, and if it was
simply because different people were using different programs to create
graphics at different times (and working from a vector version of the image
vs. bitmap, different color profiles, etc.).

This makes me think that it might be useful to try and come up with a
catalogue of the different places the logo is currently being used, so we
could make sure that we had a version of the canonical logo in the
appropriate size, file format, and color profile as part of the style
guide.

:)
