A permanent semantic record of transient celestial events worthy of  
followup?

Ideally.  I took a lap around the building looking at logos on the  
various posters.  We're already ahead of the game compared to many  
projects :–)

A good idea.  Don't forget the corresponding control experiment of  
presenting some random other logos.  For instance, try googling the  
images of astronomical projects and you may be surprised at the  
hits.  KPNO is a Christian radio station in Nebraska.  SOAR is the  
Southern Ontario Animal Rescue.  GRB seems to mean something very  
special in Zagreb.
