Well, if we were to contact TLG, what would be the best approach to it, to
get on their good side? I'm not totally objected to contacting them, I
just would like to make sure we've done everything we can to have them not
jump on us beforehand.

I like the concept of Bram's fading wireframe brick, and that was my
original plan for the logo (months ago, before his image release) and I
tried, but lacked the skill to make it all come together. One thing is I
like the angle of the brick that is currently on ldraw.org. What about the
'front' three studs fading to wireframe, the end and then the middle right
stud on it? I have no problem with changing it to a faded logo, but I
would object to a colorless wireframe only. And also, may I point out that
the angle of the 2x3 is opposite the angle on the System logo - this may be
a slight distinction.
