I like this concept! But then, I'm a sucker for anything involving DNA. :) Bonus feature: we can tell everyone they've got our logo in their cells already, it's too late not to be a member.. As far as colours, red and black are associated with the UCC rugby team, but moreso with Anarchism. And while I have little objection to (nor particular enthusiasm for) Anarchism, it might be misconstrued as a political affinity by some. Also, black is a little foreboding, moody or mysterious. White or a pastel colour background, with vibrant foreground colours? Thoughts on whether to twist the DNA or keep it "flat"? I like twists myself, but I'm biased, yunno. Also, Áine you've reminded me that this isn't just a Cork thing, but is probably better considered a "South of Ireland" thing, so I'm not too firmly stuck to the Cork colours, I'm just a locaphile. If it would get in the way of a good colour scheme, we'll ditch it! On 30/06/14 10:09, Áine Cahill wrote: > Hi guys, this is something I was thinking of last night...
