I don't have Photochop, maybe someone could bend the text around the bottom. And make it bigger.

Not really feeling this as our logo, but not ruling it out. This could become one of our symbols like the stealie was to the dead. I would definitely see some tshirts with this on it as this is our inside joke. Should definitely finish it to see how it looks.

I'd like the words "LOCKN FORUM" to be an integral part of the logo, not the web address. When you type Lockforum in google you will get the web address. I like the Lockn infinity symbol in the middle, maybe without the soon. Maybe the words Lockn Forum are in some "60's" style font. Think we should have the colors red, white and blue incorporated kind of like the stealie. Not sure if we want to rip off the GD lightning bolt, probably not.

We don't have to rip the bolt off. The dues on that should be reasonable. I can find out I think but I'm sure you could too. You already pay to keep us add free so let's see what is costs and if it's worth it (~);}

co-opting the lightning bolt may lead passer bys to think Dead and Company are already confirmed for '18.

can we use the infinity sign or do we need permission? If the latter, I bet they will give it to us if we ask the right people, politely, and promise not to sell stuff with it on it.

This is what I am hoping for as well. After all we are advertising for them without asking them to pay any fees.

	This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. What happens if I take both?

Definately. I say we all get one and fly it high. It can be a beacon for LF members. Get your handle written across the bottom. Than we dont even need the "where will you be thread". Oh, and if they can embroider purple blinking lights into the glasses for a night beacon, all the better.

My 2cents: stay away from insider jokes and Dead specific stuff. The point is this place is THE source for everything Lockn with the family aspect to boot.

I like the tree, the love sign, the infinity symbol....

The oak tree w/ music notes falling off it? A tent with the oak coming out of it...a row of music lines with the infinity symbol over it? General stuff like that will get instant recognition from those in the know and look cool to those who don't.

I couldn't agree with this more. The oak tree and a peace sign are integral components of the LFF symbol so we don"t want to use those. I like the idea of musical notes, infinity symbol and the love sign. Work in the words Lockn Forum...

Use the letters of Lockn Forum as musical notes either as the infinity loop or somehow intertwined with it? I dunno, I'm two beers away from bed. 😶
