I honestly think you should seriously consider designing an Open Dental cap.

I saved the design.

The font color navy blue on the front seems a different shade then the rest of the navy blue, but I think that is just the website.

I think it would be worth buying one to see how it fits\feels\looks. 8)

To us in the dental field, PMS is instantly understood. To the general public (when you wear the hat walking around town), PMS means something else.

@teethdood- that is where my mind went. We don't have many women here, but I would buy it for them all just for giggles :) We would be the Open Dental PMS brigade.

Justin,

I like the first one better. Clearly legible.

My office has a non-standard font for a signage. I wish it were standard clear easy to read font. I hate looking at that signage every day. I just can't bring myself to ripping down a $10K signage just put up 3 years ago :cry:

I think it needs the tag line, "spreading by word of mouth" :D

I really think the Open Dental team should do a weekly blog about existing/new/in-development features. That will garner a lot of likes and followers. I know there's the user manual and the Search area for existing features, and the Release list for changes in new versions. Not everyone goes through them though. If you do a weekly blog highlighting one specific feature in depth (writing for current and prospective users alike), that would be good.

Edit: I guess the Webinars achieve almost the same thing, but is geared towards very basic overview of OD. So yeah, a feature blog would be nice.
