Sure, I am open to removing or changing the word instant, on the other hand the mission statement is meant to convey general intent, not cover every possible implementation corner case, so the fact that there are corner cases where we would not be able to fulfil the wording of the mission statement isn't really a problem IMHO. > I also don't see why we'd need a distinct visual identity.

Not sure I would agree its implementation details, and I am not sure how you would make something recognisable without making it distinguishable?
