Ahhh the f-f-f-f reminds me of the old McDonald's campaign - food, 
folks, and fun! food folks and fun! You know the one, McDonald's, for 
food, folks, and fun!!!

(now that's stuck in my head, arghhhhhh)

I'm wondering if this could be tied into the F10 artwork theme.... I've 
been sketching up some steampunky doodles lately. Maybe I'll do some 
along these lines. Here are some steampunk-inspired ideas:

FREEDOM
=======
   - person strapped to a Wright-Brothers-esque flying contraption 
(flight is usually associated with freedom... or maybe a steampunky 
blimp/zeppelin ride with a crowd of steampunky people together waving on 
the balcony, you also get the community aspect there)
   - a steamboat floating down a wide river towards a rising sun on the 
horizon (open spaces, sun coming up, flowing water can all symbolize 
great potential and/or freedom, I think)

FRIENDS
=======
   - steampunky sailors toasting on deck, their pewter mugs of grog 
clanking together
   - maybe a silly idea, but a group of victorian/steampunky clad women 
in a circle, each knitting a piece together. Maybe what they're knitting 
is a Fedora flag?
   - Or maybe a few steampunky people sitting at a steampunky piano 
playing piano together? (collaboration!)

FEATURES
========
   - a steampunky rube goldberg machine? (but maybe that gives a false 
impression that we overengineer!)
   - a clockmaker with wearing those funky spectacles working on the 
gears inside a pocket watch (could represent infinity also, if you draw 
the gears right)
   - old-style movie camera projecting onto a wall, 3... 2... 1.... fedora!

FIRST
=====
   - a steampunky astronaut putting a Fedora flag on the moon?
   - a steampunky rail-cart (eg 
http://www.die-cast-toys.com/plastic-soldiers/swoppets/railcart.jpg) 
race with the coolest-looking rail-cart driver clearly in first place 
(maybe he has a Fedora logo on him somewhere or somehow represents 
Fedora; maybe he has a more interesting wardrobe than the rest so he 
stands out)
   - or maybe a steamboat race instead of a railcart race :)
