Question
is there any significance to the firedancer symbol? why does dmb use it as a logo?

Answer
Hi Jess!  The firedancer is a Dave Matthews original artwork.  A long time ago, when trying to come up with merchandise logos, someone asked Dave to draw what he saw when he looked into the crowd.  He drew the firedancer.  He said he saw people just letting go and dancing crazy and having a good time.  That is where the firedancer came from and what it represents - what Dave sees in his audience.  Hope this helped you!  Thank you for your question!
