I started a list of ways I could render the T3 Design logo. After I did the first few I started turning them into wallpapers for my computer:

LiteBrite - Everyone had one of these as a kid I think. They were a lot of fun and presented an interesting challenge since the pegs were in a hex pattern. I also remember that when you screwed up and put a peg in the wrong place you had a hole that light came through that you couldn’t fix! This is not a real picture, it is photoshoped from a website I found: LiteBrite

Stained Glass - This is another completely photoshoped image. I found stock images of glass and then created the “lead” frame and the landscape outside. This one was challenging, but fun.

Sand - Again, totally photoshoped. I found a stock image of the beach and then used filters to create the impression in the sand.

Embroidery - This one is real. I got a friend was has a monogramming business (You Name It) who offered to sew my logo out for me. I snapped a pic and cleaned it up a bit and there it is.

VCT Tile Floor - Another complete photoshop job. I used sample tile images from a web site selling tile and then created the pattern and outline. The chair is from an entry in a digital design contest.

Pixelated - I have always enjoyed pointelism and the associated art. I have played around with photoshop and several online resources to create lots of interesting effects. This is just one version.

Foam Craft - Long story short, we have advent at our house on Sunday (during the 4 weeks of advent of course) and invite several families over. Each Sunday a different family is in charge of a craft for the kids to do. This was one of the crafts. Everyone else made angels and “joy” and crosses, I made T3Design!

Barcode - Simple concept. I used an online barcode generator to create a barcode that actually is “T3DESIGN” and then fit it into a template of my logo. Kind of cool I think.

Skyscraper - Stock photo that I stretched and then photoshopped the lights in the windows.

• sewer grate or manhole cover

As I was preparing for Ironman Florida, I decided I should do something to make my bike standout. Since I designed and trademarked the TRI-OKC logo, I decided to adapt it to my wheel set. I got a friend at a local sign shop to cut the vinyl on his machine and help me apply it.

The T3Design logo started with my tendency to initial everything with T3. One day I was sketching and I started overlaying the 3 on the T and it eventually morphed into what you see here.
