Steam emblem for Frankfurt

This emblem für the steampunk group Frankfurt is the result of a democratic process. There were drafts, new ideas and elections. This version won:

An airship above an alternative skyline of Frankfurt.

You might think the airship is a little bit cliché but since the visit of the Zeppelin museum in Neu-Isenburg we know there’s been an airship station right beside the airport Frankfurt which has been the starting point of the “Hindenburg” and the “Graf Zeppelin” for their transatlantic flights. The latter also modeled for the airship in the emblem.
The skyline beneath is Frankfurt’s but relegated in time. I changed the silhouette you would see from the bridge “Alte Brücke” in the style of old skyscrapers from the beginning of the 20th century. The cathedral is a little bit closer than in reality and I also have to place the Paul’s Church to the left. This one was requested by Audiovisionär as a symbol for the first - very short - democracy on German ground.
