You're right, when I was making Scatter, I wanted people to see it in 
its raw form which is most powerful.
I didn't think enough about the context (the letterhead) and it would 
seem unruly now on paper letterheads.

But the Scatter Design is adaptable to even this purpose. In the 
remaining days, I'll try and draw up
some quick rough drafts of what Scatter would look like in the contexts 
you mention above, showing
how versatile the Motif could prove (like Ivan mentioned =)

Yep, that's what I envision the  "Revisions" phase is for (though it is 
only 2 days);

That will give us time to muck around with the Motif to make it suitable 
for different purposes.
And I don't know about you guys, but my files are usually pretty sloppy 
during the Design-proposal phase.
So some time to "clean up" the loose ends will also be good.
