Here my batch of draft "trefoil knot" designs. (Drafts -- meaning not necessarily ready for use, as all previous batches too)
Great stuff Thomas. Treefoil_know_3TM looks gorgeous and 1TM looks good as well. 2TM is also to consider. Probably you and E. would have to work out the colors, but to me it looks a nice candidate.
I've been casually following this thread, so I prefix this comment with "if a comment from me isn't really isn't welcome, that's OK".
The thing that comes to mind for me, if I want to combine some idea of "three" with the idea of a gear is the rotor of a Wankel engine. Those of you who don't know what this looks like might want to do a search on "Wankel rotor", and see images like the one in http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/mazda-wankel-rotary
One might want to stylize this a bit by simplifying it and putting a T in the middle.
Further, for those who are troubled about religious connections, to the best of my knowledge there is no religion which worships Wankel engines ;-)
And if someone is worried about copyright/patent issues, the similar Reuleaux triangle (still with a gear inside) might look as good.
Cheers. Jim
