1. We would like to include a little of our past job history in the logo if possible
2. 3D printing for home use is primarily a process of extruding plastic in fine layers slowing building the 3D object up layer by layer. We would like to include this idea in the logo in some way.
3. We want to show that we are the experts in the 3D printing field the logo should convey perfection, three dimensional, confidence, trust, loyalty, and honesty
4. The logo will be on letterhead, business cards, web, and social media as well as promotional products such as polo shirts, mugs, and baseball caps.
5. The logo should work in color but also reproduce well in black and white
