Right now, pages that are pretty much finished are:

About First Words still needs a little bit of editing, but most of the stuff is done. We need to write the articles, but aside from that, everything that we can do on the website at this stage is done!
]]>Otherwise - my initial impression is to be impressed.
]]>In other words, we don't have to worry about the design at all any more. And if we do change the design, I've constructed the site such that it can be changed extremely easily. I can now start working on the content.

But for stationary and any other publicity materials, yep, url is a good idea.
I toyed around with the idea of using New Mars logo on letters and so on, and then figured that things would start getting too cluttered, and besides, not that many people know about New Mars anyway. If people are going to remember one thing after reading a letter or the email or the website, I want it to be First Words, not New Mars. So you won't see the New Mars logo around much at all, apart from on the website.
As for the Mars Society logo, nope, I don't like it either. It's been a bone of contention for a long while now. My problems with it are that it doesn't look good when it's small (since it's very detailed), the astronaut in the picture is drawn out of proportion, and also it's too complicated. I doubt it'll change any time soon though, since we've been using it for over five years and it has a great deal of inertia now.
]]>You cannot repeat the website too many times.
Maybe print the NewMars logo at the top of the page with the NewMars URL and the First Words logo with the First Words URL at the bottom.
Phobos - IMHO, the Mars Society needs a logo that Chamber of Commerce guys will wear on their polo shirts when they play in the annual golf outing.
The existing Mars Society logo ain't that kind of logo.

]]>So: We need an artist(s) and software.
