I figured I could take a stab at it. I really liked IDM's first logo, so that's what I based it off of.

I really like the offset text; I think it makes the logo feel a lot more dynamic. I don't really like the outline around the comet, though, and I think the text feels a lot less like part of the logo and more tacked on without the solid block of color behind it (that was something I settled on rather quickly when I was putting it together last night). Basically, what I'm saying is I changed my logo to have the diagonally offset text, and I think I like it even better:

I really like that logo, it feels like a college logo and perfect for the school. You can keep the comet as a secondary as well as the CF, but this one looks the best.

Yeah I'm digging that one. I just figured I'd make one to minimize teal, but if y'all are cool with it, I am as well.

Yeah, I'll wait for Dan and Sevsdast to chime in as well, but I think this is the way to go.

Let's do this!

Digging it. I'm on board

Alright! I'll send off the updated logo sheet to the QCS group, and that should be a wrap on CFU!

Looks like we have Baltimore for this one, as they're population is 593,490, and no other qualifying cities!

I want to start out by giving us a strange name: Crab Fishers! It'd play well with the red we have to work with.

I definitely like something to do with crabs, although I'm not sure how I feel about Crab Fishers specifically. Maybe Crabbers, or even just Crabs? I know crabs aren't inherently industrial, but I'd argue that crabs are popular because of the crab fishing industry. That said, if we all want to go with Crab Fishers, I'm cool with that. It's certainly unique.

For the sake of variety, I've been looking at the Baltimore Museum of Industry's website, and there are a lot of options there. I'll invite y'all to take a look for yourselves, but we could also go with something like Canners (for the canning company that the museum is built in) or Tugs (for the steam tug Baltimore, built in 1906, which fits our timeframe perfectly).
