LEGO-Sheriff has been packing for a trip to (I presume) The Bearded Orchid Greenhouse ("The BOG") somewhere in Oregon. But I can tell he has been studying the ORCHiDAN logo with great interest, and today there was a loud "AHA!" from the lab.

He says he now is sure that the ORCHiDAN logo is a disguised caricature of none other that that rascal RiffRaff. He showed me how he pieced apart the logo... It makes sense to me. See what you think.

This is the logo as it appears on the tiny beard oil and beard balm containers, and as it appeared on the coded message (backwards) and the outside and inside of the wooden chest.

He discarded the ORCHiDAN name first of all. "Just a red herring," he said, dismissively. "This has nothing to do with Irish Dan," (who we often call "iDan" here on the Board).

Then he highlighted the two vertical bars in red. "That's his top hat," he said.

Next he highlighted the loops at the top. "His beard when it was short," he stated, as though he has been familiar with Riff Raff for quite some time.

The curly sections on the left and right. "His face and handlebar moustache," he claimed.

He took off the unhighlighted pieces, leaving only the colored elements.

Then he rearranged all these pieces...

...changed the colors back to black...

..and filled the open spaces.

"That's HIM," he cried. "The top hat, the long moustache, the beard, all in black -- It's RIFF RAFF -- I know it! I'm onto that rascal now."

I sure hope the folks at The BOG can help him. Perhaps we'll get a report once he arrives.

There has been a lot of construction noises -- hammering, drilling, sawing, and welding flashes -- coming from the lab. He has the door closed, and I don't want to bother him when he is busy. He's got something in the works, and I bet it's related to his trip to Oregon. (I'm not hearing any horses, though.)
