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.<br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 9:13 PM Todd Kaiser <<a href="mailto:tdkaiser@ucdavis.edu" class="">tdkaiser@ucdavis.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto" class=""><div class=""><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" class="">Hi everyone!</span></div><div class=""><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" class="">I am meeting <a class="">next Thursday</a> with Pixel, the student graphic design club on campus, to discuss creating a logo and other graphic elements for Davis Gig.
