I certainly think that the FOHBC virtual museum of glass will be a terrific incentive for antique bottle collectors and the like to join. Just seeing a preview of whats to come would certainly encourage me to become a member.
However I am not fond of the new FOHBC logo, I would definitely prefer the logo to be a glass bottle or grouping of bottles, since that is what most members collect and not logos of people.

Warren…thanks for your support. Want to tap in much more when we move along with the VM project. Think you would be perfect on the VM Board. The Logo design purposely is geometric and absent of bottles. The Circle with GW will usually be accompanied by the Virtual Museum of American Historical Bottles and Glass typography. There will always be great bottle pictures close at hand. If you think about it, just about every club logo, show logo or bottle related logo uses drawings or pictures of bottles. It seemed to me that another logo following this path was not needed. I’m sure I will study this further. I really do not want the FOHBC bird (I call it the rubber chicken) in proximity.
