I am rather fond of the "Big H", it is already well establish as meaning<br>
hackspace, what i was really hoping for was something that would<br>
hint/suggest Swansea about it.<br>
<br>
Taking just the city logo shade of red isnt enough on its own as its too<br>
similar a shade to the original logo, hence wanting an additional tweak.<br>
<br>
i have mashed together logo 3, the big H and the city colour, but i fear<br>
its still not quite right somehow.<br>

When I was brainstorming ideas I tried to think of something that would say<br>
"Swansea", but nothing came to mind. None of the other hackspaces seem to<br>
have their location embedded in their logo, so I figured that while it<br>
would be nice, it's not a big deal if we don't either. If anyone can think<br>
of anything, let's hear it.<br>
<br>
Colour-wise I went for greens and browns to evoke a community, grass-roots<br>
feel. Red does that quite nicely too, in its own way.<br>
<br>
I think logo 3 seems to be the favourite so far. I'm in the middle of<br>
tweaking it to fit the established "Hackspace H" better in any case, so<br>
I'll post a few variations on that when it's ready.<br>
