This reminds me of another cool interpretation of the FIRST logo. Actually a couple.
One, was a metal
FIRST logo hanging from above Einstein field back in 2002 & 2001 when FIRST was at Disney, and was made with a very similar cross welded metal structure (but on a much larger & much heavier scale of course.)
(I swear I'll track down a pic of that & upload it one of these days here on CD)
The second, was the water-jet
cut FIRST logo at IRI this past year that was a part of the charity auction.

If you go to IRI, be sure to make another one of these for the charity auction!!
I would bid on it! (If I go this year)
Way cool!
