Once of the diggers from Journey to the Center of the Earth digging into Mount Prometheus, which looks like it just erupted/or will do so shortly.
Prometheus, the lighter company. Another version of my new logo for Prometheus, but I added color to see if that helps and personally I like it better than just black, but I'm not sure what you guys all think!
The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty,
The Prometheus fountain in Rockefeller Center. It's cool enough on its own, but what really blew me away is that I took this from my seat at the cafe!

Prometheus, the lighter company. This version is kind of just for fun since I don't think we are aloud to really have this many shades of color in our logos, but it looks neat right?
Prometheus was the son of a Titan, one of the giant Elder Gods of Greek mythology. Prometheus was a friend to mortal men; his best-known act was sneaking into the heavens and stealing fire from the gods, which he then delivered to humans on Earth. Prometheus also foretold the doom of Zeus, but refused to tell Zeus the secret of how that doom would occur. Enraged, Zeus had Prometheus chained to a rock in the mountains, where an eagle (some say a vulture) came every day and gnawed his liver. This went on for 30 years until the hero Hercules slew the bird, ending Prometheus's torment.
