Need a small graphic for an internal company newsletter. The title of this edition is "Rapid 8-Step Problem Solving". The concept drawing is attached. Thinking about a stopwatch with only 8 digits (as opposed to the standard 12). The numbers would get progressively bolder as they get larger; #1 would be the least bold and #8 would be the boldest. We would like to use something that looks like the NIKE Swoosh as that symbolizes "just do it". Since this is an interoffice communique and will not have external distribution, there shouldn't be copyright problems. Would like the graphic to somehow indicate motion from 1 to 8 and ideally show that that motion continues (meaning it doesn't stop once you've reached Step 8). Will need to have a white background as the document is on white paper. The main color should be our corporate blue (R= 38, G=58, B=128).
