Not trying to cause any trouble, since there are some very creative ideas here, but on the FIRST web site under FIRST Logo Standards (
http://www.usfirst.org/4vol/resource...tandards_Q.pdf)
it says:
Do not change or modify the logos. The lettering is specifically designed and cannot be recreated by any conventional typesetting methods. Use only the provided appropriate master files.
Do not distort or in any way change the logo proportions.
Do not change the logo colors.
Do not place our logos within any graphic shapes.

I don't know how particular they are about this, so caveat emptor
