## What is the history of the Dogecoin and Dogecoin Foundation logos?
The D, Silent Shibe, and Chatty Shibe Dogecoin logos as well as the original "Hands holding the Moon" Dogecoin Foundation logo are all original logo designs created specifically for the Dogecoin Project and the Dogecoin Foundation by Christine Ricks in 2013. Christine is a freelance designer who created these logos as a favour to the creators of Dogecoin and donated them to the Dogecoin Project and Dogecoin Foundation for their use. She was not and is not otherwise involved in the Dogecoin Project or Dogecoin Foundation. The current logo of the Dogecoin Foundation was designed for the Foundation by @cb_doge.

I think it is incorrect to bundle 2 separate efforts and 2 separate entities like this. Plus any logos for "Dogecoin Foundation" are completely out of scope for Dogecoin. Please keep the two separate, after all, anyone can start a Dogecoin Foundation or otherwise non-profit to further Dogecoin in any way.

I agree with this - same point I tried to make in my previous comment: 9072f4f#commitcomment-95223710

Any reference to the Dogecoin Foundation assets is outside the scope of this website.

Missed that the header should also change for consistency with my other suggestion - apologies.
