Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Writing to share the new badge design. Before I jumped into this project, someone once told me that it would take a lot of time. I ignored that advice - ha ha. Actually, it has been very fun getting to know a bunch of other members and working through the design of the badge. With that in mind, through this thread you have all been instrumental in inspiring a new (albeit very familiar) design for our "Universal" badges. We looked at several options: adding words, taking words away, fussing with the linework, colors... In the end, this beautiful, simple, referential layout was the clear solution. I think it follows
@oneills "white space" intent, and
@deQuincey "say more by saying less" comment.

In a few years, I think we should do another one with an entirely different design - some sort of commemoration or the like. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Let's get this badge order finished and let them get a few bug splats before we add more clutter to our grills.
