[OrRando] A Regional Pin Design??

[joel metz]

im a sucker for the whel and cog based logos myself - my favorites of 
that lot are the randonee des cols pyreneens, randonneurs des alpes, 
raid pyreneen, cta, and randonee de savoie... though i kinda like the 
boucles de la seine design as well... ive always thought that when i 
actually get around to doing the raid olympique idea that i teased 
people with a few years ago, id make a logo similar to the raid 
pyreneen one.

if i get a bug up my butt on my day off tuesday, maybe ill see if i 
can cut and paste some logo ideas together from old images in my 
colection...
