[MakeLV] Fwd: HIVE4A Logo Concepts

[Bill Mansfield]

They look good, but personally I'd like to see something that adds reference
to the LV industry or history, like the original Mack Truck/hive mockup. If
we could integrate the bulldog, or something that makes it more
geographically, historically, and community identifiable I think it would be
something the community at large would respond better to, and would stay
truer to the goals.

Not having an artistic bone in me, I can't draw a mockup.. But how would
people feel about a logo incorporating something like an Iron crucible
pouring out a Hive4A logo of some sort.. Would tie the area's history
together and make a statement about industrial forging or reforging of the
area.. Plus we could do it in neon as a really impressive piece to hang in
the hack space.
