[Davisgig] Designing a Logo

[Jason Aller]

While incorporating a bicycle, or even a penny-farthing into the logo is
cliche, it also ties it to Davis. So, take the penny-farthing, and have the
large wheel un-spooling into a strand of fiber that points toward the
viewer, perhaps with an even exaggerated sense of foreground. No lens flare
to show that it is fiber. Optionally add a rider wearing the most modern
looking speed biking apparel you can imagine. Bonus points if the rider is
female. Clean white background, no shadow. Make it look like what Google
might use as their doodle if they renamed themselves Davis for a day.
Additional bonus points if the penny-farthing maps over onto the City logo.
Ideally should be able to be rendered in two color, but can use additional
colors as long as it can reduce without losing anything.
