Image of a cream colored patch with raw frayed edges. On the patch in dark ink the Gateway Burners logo of the Burningman logo combined with the gateway arch and the river convergence of the Mississippi and the Missouri that is part St Louis, MO logo. Behind the logo in lighter brown ink is a gear to signify our theme this year which leans heavily into steampunk.
