[forge-dev] Fwd: Seam Forge logos round 1

[Koen Aers]

A bit late but I'll throw in my ideas as well. I also initially liked the
anvil image, but I think we should carefully consider Max's arguments. Also,
though Dan's analogy of 'banging out a sword' is nice, I think it is not
something obvious.

That's why after thinking about it for a while I would be inclined to be in
favour of r1v6. But I would actually leave out the hands of Prometheus. I
think a flame is a good logo because it is simple, it relates to a forge
well and more in general fire has always been a - dangerous, i admit - tool
for people to create all kinds of things. Moreover fire is very agile, you
can carry and use it everywhere.

My 2 cents,
Koen
