Note there is an error in the logos that Ian's in the process of
 correcting. The dark-background version of the FUDcon logo should use only
 the light color blue, and it's currently using the dark-colored one.

Traditionally we've used landmarks or cultural symbols of FUDcon's host
 cities/towns in the design our FUDcon T-shirts. Some suggestions for
 potential design elements:

- Virginia Tech, according to Wikipedia, is a main point-of-interest in
 Blacksburg. It might be worth researching if there are particularly
 distinctive buildings or landmarks on campus that may make an interesting
 design element. See
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Polytechnic_Institute_and_State_Univer...

- The 'Hokie' - the mascot of Virginia Tech - might make an interesting
 subject? It's a type of turkey... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokie_Bird

- Some kind of cultural symbol related to the area's history might be
 interesting. For example, the traditional artwork Emily designed for the
 FUDcon Tempe shirt. This will take a bit of research. An initial look into
 the Blacksburg wiki page suggests a technologically-sophisticated town.

One reason Blacksburg is fairly tech heavy, in an area where that might
 otherwise be unusual, is that Virginia Tech is the state's largest school
 of engineering and applied science (including CS of course).  So these two
 points definitely go hand in hand.
