[Swansea Hackspace] Logos

[Tom Lloyd]

Hello again,

I've produced the next batch of logos.  They're all variations on the
"Hackspace H" design, as that seems to be the most popular.

Find them here: https://sucs.org/~tlloyd87/hackspace/r2/

Of particular interest may be a design loosely based on the Welsh flag, a
copper-themed one, and an experimental design incorporating the outline of
a swan.  Thanks to Neil for these ideas.  The rest are all the same, just
with different colour combinations.

Again, these are all work-in-progress, so please let me know what you
think!  The more opinions I hear, the better the finished logo will
represent the group.

All the best,
Tom :)
