I'm sure much effort was expended in designing and creating the DelVaLUG logo,
so I don't want to stomp on any aesthetic toes; but I've got some critiques. If
there's consensus, I can help with the redrafting.
The left-corner female face: it looks sad, or possibly ill -- the eyebrows
aren't upcurved-happy, and the mouth is pouty.
The bridge graphic is, visually, too busy/complicated -- at least for small
versions. A silohuette of the bridge would suffice; the tiniest versions would
have to dispense with the studs. Reduce the number of railing-arches, maybe.
And what's with that 16-stud plate for the roadbed? Given our region's history,
a *covered* bridge would be more distinctive.
The motto: "Bridging the gap." That implies an organization devoted primarily
to outreach. "What gap?" I wonder, and think: between AFOLs, or AFOLs and
pre-AFOLs, or bricks? It's a strained connection, IMHO. Offhand, I can't think
of any bridge-topical phrases that are better. ("Bridge to the future." "Land
of bridges." "Spanning the fissure of fun.")
Use of a sans-serif font *was* a good idea.
