    Scotland Forever

    I have this new design that I am getting ready to launch. I would love your feedback. I guess I am looking for validation (or constructive criticism) as to whether or not the idea is immediately understandable or even likeable. Thoughts?

    OK, I have to ask, "just what is the significance of the "8" logo thingy?"

    That's really nice, Hank. Love the incorporation of the infinity... almost hinting at a Saltire, too... sort of.

    Glad you caught it. That is exactly what I was going for. I hope that it isn't TOO subtle.

    Oh right, I did not know that, thank you. So, what exactly are you trying to say? I suppose, by the very fact that I have to ask shows its too subtle for this Scot!

    I think the idea, Jock, is that if something is infinite it is never ending or "Forever" hence "Scotland Forever" as in the thread title. Hope this is not getting too close to the current debate.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I am sorry my train of thought was going down the line of the title of the famous picture of the charge of the Royal Scots Greys at Waterloo! No wonder I did not get it!

    It made sense to me immediately. Sideways 8 is infinity. Cool t-shirt.

    Makes total sense to me, as long as the 8 lies flat and not at an angle.
