Thumbs up

Oh, I like this topic, and the graphic too.

But I don't have any experience with SCS myself.

When I do graphics and logos, I put them aside for a few short days, and then look at them with fresh eyes. If you do that then you may think of something else to change or add, or you may find that what you have already is what you really want.

I would ask this... is this graphic supposed to be AFTER the implant? A person with no experience with this may interpret the lightning bolts as "pain" not SCS signals. If after...then the smile is appropriate also. This graphic person looks like they are falling... and falling means "problems"...is that what you want to convey? Perhaps another movement would be more appropriate to show SCS success?

If you get your graphic to a point where it satisfies you, I think we can approach DocJohn to have it put at the head of this SCS forum! But then it would be smaller of course, and an informal vote here for approval, and that might be an option in the near future.
Doing a logo like this is very difficult I think, so don't rush it.

Our PD forum has a graphic...so take a look. So does the Stumble Inn at MS.

I would suggest perhaps having the letters "SCS" in the person...say a negative space or banner/belt across the body maybe in gold also?, either like a seat belt diagonally, or across the waist. If SCS is there somewhere, it will make the graphic more understandable, I think. Also I'd suggest trying making the person with rounded edges...sharp edges are less friendly. Many signs depicting people graphically show a softer round look, since we don't have sharp edges. If you do this, then the electrical part will stand out more I think.

But this is a wonderful idea, and going well so far as it is.
I didn't know you were going get the implant. Must have been while I was on vacation?
