Hello,<br>
<br>
I have attached a crude mockup, pieced together from images stolen
off the internet, of what I envision when I think of "Davis Fiber".<br>

<div>For example, </div>

</div>
<div>Now a word of caution, I’ve been involved in too
many groups where the “logo” has been a contentious time-suck.
All of us are arm-chair art directors (I especially include
myself) and when this happens nothing gets done. To head that
off, this should be decided by a small group (3-4 at max),
ideally by professional graphic designers (are there any of you
on the list??). </div>

<div dir="ltr">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.<br>
