    You are right. I am down with the flu. I like the logo with dog's paw print.Ā

    Good stuff, I vote yes!

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    dostovelĀ I like it Omar especially the inverted color scheme from the standard CAT. I want to add if we are doing CAT versus DOG maybe lets have the arrow point down and be at the top. (Now Iā€™m thinking ā€œtop dogā€ haha)


    Maybe something like this? The yellow color RGB to match is R: 255, G: 184, B: 28

    I took some photos today at work of a similar machine (the best I have at my disposal). Iā€™ll upload them here for reference if that helps:

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    The bucket is pretty close to same width as tires even though it tends to ā€œappearā€ wider

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Up close to bucket side.

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Fuel tank is built into the step

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Different stabilizer and excavator rear frame but good reference.

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    AnotherĀ rear reference

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Excavator arm assembly

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Another angle of the excavator arm.

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    I believe this 2nd half also extends out to allow farther reach for the excavator bucket.

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Close up of the back of the bucket

    @theluthier Is there an official thread to this livestream?

  • Kent Trammell replied

    dostovel I've been drafting the forum post for the past hour! Still not done..but expect it tomorrow. There's a lot to outline to avoid confusion as it turns out. But I LOVE what I'm seeing in this thread so far! Your logo design is šŸ’Æ

    blanchsb What good luck that you have a backhoe at your disposal for pictures! How unlucky that it's not the same model I chose šŸ˜£ BUT your pics will no doubt be helpful for filling in gaps. Thanks for taking the time to snap the pics and post them here šŸ™‡

    On that note I was driving down the highway last week and noticed a CATERPILLAR facility 100 yards off the road. I may have to call them and see if A) they have a 434E backhoe on site and B) if I can take pics of it.
