Interesting indeed Steve, do you have any close shots of and engraved brick
by itself? How are you doing the engraving?

After long consideration I decided to mutilate bricks. I have resorted to
only de-facing then so far. One might say its more like a 3D decal, others
my scoff.

This is what LEGO designers do, so why not. We have directly influenced them
on the current train/set designs (esp Dan Siskind's work), why not
individual elements. Not to mention MegaBlocs blows LEGO away with textured
elements (yeah, yeah, yeah, I could have stopped after blows...). Recently I
was building a MegaBloc Mech (b-day present) with Phil, my 6 yr old son, and
found an awesome selection of textured elements, it really got me thinking.
This coupled with the BricksWest name badges and here's what I came up with.
