I think you did yeoman's work here Hotdog. I'm sort of new to the scene here but it seems you've got it right - focus on getting things done rather than dwelling on all the potential eccentricities.. The logo is symbolic (and a very nice one at that :-) - but it's not the core of the matter here - t...

Hey folks - wanted to pass along a request from the Alumni Advancement Board and the STA Project team. It would be great if you'd consider posting some public comments on the Indiegogo site about your supporting thoughts on the project / your space camp story / or anything connected to the project a...

That's correct - this is part of the first phase of a two phase project: 1) Phase 1 - transport / emplace aircraft ...

Logo looks great Brian. What an awesome project - and it's becoming apparent that so many alumni want to be involved and give back. Makes you proud to be an alumnus of a group that is so committed to the youth that will experience now and in the future.
