Cape Town underground wildetect design logo - CT

My brother and sister in law returned from a trip to the USA recently - Besides the great travel stories they bought lots of USA presents and my kids 2 Yankee stadium baseball caps. From a game the Yankees won, where they ate hot dogs and experienced the American cultural phenomenon first hand. I must say it looked great.

My boet bought a Yankees baseball cap when he visited New York when he travelled the world with the merchant navy about 30 yrs ago. Along with Dr pepper and many other things the South African 80's sanctions didn't allow into SA. - So the NY has been subliminally imprinted in my head from a very young age. - Not to mention all the movies that showcase this iconic brand. The baseball cap had pride of place in his room whilst he travelled the world.

So i decided to work on a CT cape town underground logo similar. Everything i design creatively is actually underground. Hugely deep underground it seems.ie its below the surface. 

So their travel trip experience  got me thinking about creating a Yankee type NY inspired CT underground wildetect design logo for cape town. underground because the concept of wildetecture is not mainstream.

The top of the T has table mountain silhouetted and the top of the C acts as the cloud which races down the face creating the table top. Or it could be the arm of cape town's legendary figure the adamaster. The bottom of the C is well the cold Atlantic sea.

Put that on a cap. Boom
