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

[Koen Aers]

Yes, dangerous indeed... You always need to know what you're doing when
creating software ;-)

And it's still maybe a better analogy than having to lift a heavy hammer,
work hard and pour a lot of sweat to make your sword sharp ;-)

But I really think a logo should be very simple which would be the case for
a simple flame...

Cheers,
Koen
