Thanks for revisiting this, RJ. Definitely think we have a good start going, but there’s more that could be done.
I apparently failed to clarify things on the thread last July, but the SCLUG abbreviation is, in my opinion, excellent shorthand for those “in the know”, but should NOT be primary branding, for all the reasons others mention above. “SCLUG” certainly does not roll off the tongue like PennLUG, or DelVaLUG, and doesn’t quite spell an awesome word, either. Really, it’s just for when I’m feeling too lazy to type “Steel City LEGO Users Group” or even “Steel City LUG”. I very much agree that the logo should either read the full name “Steel City LEGO Users Group” or possibly “Steel City LUG” (if we believe the LEGO portion is obvious enough with whatever design we finally adopt.)
Personally, I’m always a fan of black and gold color schemes (but maybe more of a Penguins / Steelers gold than yellow, eh? 😛 ) Not opposed to bridges, either… might take a substantial overhaul to RJ’s original logo ideas to incorporate bridges and more explicit LEGO (non-branded) bricks; but it could be done.
