So I've seen all three variants on the rocket.  I like the basic concept of the WSFA logo. Capitol building +rocket =Washington Science Fiction Association.

The question I have- Is there anyway to do a redesign of the logo so it is basic black and white line work? The cross hatching on the rocket appears to be a texture remant of a much earlier era of computer design, and in a large way goes to creating the "outdated" look of the piece.

I would love to see what would happen if using the basic logo elements, we created a new version.  Or even if we ran this version through a couple of style filters in photoshop to smooth out the scratches and set in some pure colors.

I'm even willing to put in a stab at it.  Although at that point I may take all three elements and start from scratch

A circle with the Capitol building rising to the full height and a rocket ship in better perspective perhaps?

Heck we could make it a WSFA contest. Winner gets some early 1960's SF paperbacks from my house. Losers each get a copy of a Gor book from my house.
