Of course the one they designed didn't have the earth in it, but the iconic red/blue circle with lightning bolt. They designed it to slap on all of their gear so it could be identified easily during load out. |

The full story is at Bear's site, thebear.org, which was still up when I checked on Monday. |

RIP Bear. AFAIK, I never sampled your wares, but I sure have enjoyed the music from those who did!
