[caution anti-cog design tirade approaching]
A cog design (which conveniently sits neatly in a circle - yawn!!) would be like so many other bike/cycle logos, it is so prosaic. I think if you were to ask a class of 16 year old art students to design a logo for a bike shop 80% of them would present you with a cog design.
What are Shimano using for their Shimano authorized dealer logo ? - it s cog ! and Chain reaction cycles, what might they be using as a logo ? - its a cog ! and the Edinburghbicycle logo ? - why, its a cog ! and Simonsbikeshop - yes, it's a cog ! and Cyclesurgery, what might they be using as a logo ? - no way ! it's a cog ! and what are bikemagic using as a logo, oh wow (zzzzzZZZZ) it's a cog.
etc etc etc etc etc zzzzZZZZZzzZZZZZ. . . . .
. . . but the cycle/tube map is just so damn iconic !!
You have genuinely been gifted a great logo (my personal view is that it is literally world class!) by Slamm and I can't believe people are saying "hey, let's have cog !" zzzzZZZzzzZZZZzzzzz z z z .. .
