According the the official US. Graphic Company twitter account* (Company previously known as Berkeley Graphics), "like Aviation and other isolated niche fields, Amateur Radio people are operating on a different resonance frequency than you & me."
ARRL—American Radio Relay League flag spells QST in morse code which means "Information". The logo depicts an antenna—and it's radiating information towards the right. The left hand side of the logo is a counterpoise ground plane which is where the flag is attached to a flag pole. If this doesn't blow your mind, idk what would.

This kind of design work cannot be contracted out—they wouldn't know what the hell an antenna is.
Well. That sounds like something I can fulfill.
I know my way around an old technical documents and more fantastical asks. One day I'll post the QR code I hid in a sound file for an ARG that didn't get off the ground. Yes. Scannable QR code hidden in an MP3. But- for more routine yet technically specific examples.
See my font, Phosfor, produced off one letterform in this patent: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/2d/ed/0d/c6c427501cd0e7/US683133.pdf

I've implemented morse code in to design work before. See The Human Project.

And I've used real blueprints in the past for a hepatitis C study conducted at University of California, San Francisco that happened to be called UFO. yoU Find Out. It was named at a time when UFOs were quirky Americana and The X-Files was still on the air. I tried to ground it during my tenure as in house graphic designer by using The Avro Car.

A few other projects in the pipeline that fit right in with the care and attention on display with the American Radio Relay League flag. Look forward to sharing those soon. If you have unique technical design needs reach out today!
EDIT: Oh yeah- and there's this overview of circuit notations I sent to myself a week ago lol for one of those in process projects. Ahead of the game, and ahead of myself. Locked in. Bound for success.

*If you know how to wrangle an algorithm, as I do, the twitter experience is not the very worse of humanity on display. Security through wisdom, Cogsec, is just another skill I'm available to coach in. Contact me today to learn more!
