use of Firedancer logo

Hey guys, was wondering when the firedancer logo was first used for DMB? A friend of mine who I am introducing to DMB was wondering and I wasnt sure.....I was thinking it went back pretty far though.

    The first time I saw it was on the cover of Stand Up.

    my friend said something about he thought first time was on Stand Up cover and I was thinking it was way older than that. Like I became a DMB fan in 2002 and I've always seen that old shirt with it in the middle and "Could I have been anyone other than me?" written in a circle around it.

    It was a drawing Dave did in art class back in High School or at least back in the day. I think it's a result from some art class.

    Most of fall 95 had the elephants back drop I believe. Maybe the firedancer made it in to a few where the elephants were too wide for the walls.

    This WYEP compilation disc from 1995 is most likely the first use of it. http://web.archive.org/web/200702160...y.com/wyep.htm (Note that the liner notes say "We'd also like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Dave Matthews for providing us with the beautiful artwork on the cover of this disc.")

    There's also a shirt from the same era (you might even be able to still get it... not sure) that has a big firedancer on the back and some Dancing Nancies lyrics.

    ahhhh knew it was used for the Albany show! Took me a while to find the song where the cameraman actually showed it, though! (41 Police).

    i dont think its from before the band, or at least not from before dave started performing on stage. dave has said that the firedancer was a drawing he did because thats what people dancing in the audience looked like.

    thanks for the input everyone. sounds like the answer is still up in the air but is prolly sometime between the beginning of the band and around 1995.
