Thanks for the input guys. we had talked about adding more "fish" in the logos if that's what the members wanted. I started off with forums like 3reef and reef 2 reef in my. these are pretty big forums who also have no animals in their logo. I was thinking of long term usage. something too busy would be hard to use on some things when printed. keep that in mind.
we can always make a web based version of any of the logos you see with plenty of aquatic features to it. we just had t-shirt printing in mind. screen printing in particular. none of these logos are final nor are they stuck the way they are. keep the comments coming.
