It's not finalized, but I developed this in response to a gentle request that I change the image at the top of my blog entry about American Inventor -- someone got sick of looking at lipstick.
Anyway, the regular American Inventor Logo, I have to say, I find it a little boring. A little dull. A little grey.
So, I've adapted their gear thingy so it's more sun like -- like the rising sun! Like solar power! Like a house with many windows!! And added some upbeat punctuation -- everything is more exciting with an exclamation point!!!! right???? And I dropped the hexi-whatever in the background. (What was that supposed to be, anyway?).
I suspect people will get sick of looking at this, as well.
Your logo also looks vaguely like the cage in the game Mouse Trap (or at least like the memory I have of it). Which subtly hints at the "build a better mouse trap..." and ties in so well with your excellent coverage of "vector control." (I needed vector control in trig and physics classes--I could never really get those concepts under control.)
