That's pretty great!  BTW, my ex's step-dad was Alton Kelley, who teamed with Stanley Mouse to create much/most of the iconic GD poster art of the '60s - it was kind of surreal to have some of those + others (for Santana, etc) hung up around the house.  The skull/lightning logo you mention was by Bob Thomas, based on a design by Owlsey Stanley that Stanley applied on the Dead's musical equipment cases to help track stuff during tours.

My lovely wife approves of this as a concept. She may change her mind when she sees tge pix. I like the idea, but the colors don’t work.
