Topic: [AEON] Aeon Speculation - page 77. (Read 190166 times)

Sorry for asking a dumb question, but what's the deal with the yin-yang component anyway? I get the infinity thing, and the 8 thing, but yin-yang??

Are we trying to employ concepts that relate to Aeon's technology, or are we just pulling down our pants and crying "Wooohoo! Look China - over here!"

I can see your point but I'm not totally sold that the untapered yin yang is really the better one. Maybe it could be more perfect it there's an even better curvature on the ends. Not sure. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but to me it's very debatable which one is better, the tapered or the untapered one.

Yin yang is pushing the limits and I don't know why a more conservative approach is worse.

All we know is we got to retain the ae, lose the gift bow tie association, maybe have a noticable 8, and the tapering is in question.

Do you want a prestigious logo or do you want an artistic mishmash of (too) many concepts?

Yes, I have to agree with the previous poster. 
 
I can get behind the symmetry, but it doesn't look good if we do pseudo 4-way symmetry (with the letters stretched vertically).  You can see in the original mock-up that it was still squished slightly in the vertical dimension and this preserves the letter look.  When we stretch it out to the dimensions above it looks like squiggles and gift-wrap: not letters of a logo.



As far as the tapering, I feel it's necessary to preserve the yin-yang aspect and prevent the logo from degenerating into a typical logo.

This version reminds me too much of this:

I dig it, BF. Good work.

Here's a high res image of the symmetrical yin/yang logo. Feel free to give me more input. I'll play around with other color schemes soon.

Proportions don't work because I'm not well versed in Photoshop. I changed the logo (that was posted before) to my knowledge. I did it purely to give an idea how the ends could be cut.

If you really wanted to make proportional (height and length) version of that all you need is to have an 8 that lays 45 degrees and then add another 8, that is (almost) cut in half. That's what I was going for. It's almost like a four leaf clover and super easy to make for someone skilled.

I just wanted to see and show how the "snipped version" worked against the "yin yang" version, because those loose ends bothered me a bit.

BF, I really like the alternate color scheme, but your proportions don't work.  In particular that second logo is far too tall vs. wide.

Here's hoping critical will give us a black/silver/gold version of the symmetrical design at some point.  
  
Also, despite my affection for the unsymmetrical version, if enough people like the symmetrical one (as it is appearing they do) I'm sure it can happen.  

Sorry, but the unsymmetrical one doesn't make sense no matter how many lines of text you write to justify it. I agree that the 8-infinity could like more like a regular 8, without being squished too much.

Anyways, black on light gold experiment. "Hooked on infinity"




The lines are not perfect because of lack of Photoshop skills, but the "hook or inverse S" in the second image could be just be a snipped 8 figure, like below. Even the chroma-gold background is better here imo.

The second one is my choice as well

That's what I liked about the concept of it. Infinity sign + "8" + yin and yang + ae + abstract design (see earlier high-value logo examples; many have abstract designs). But I think this particular version isn't "quite there". Something about the proportions, etc. Maybe an artist with a good eye for logos could tweak it a bit and make it better.

I like the "symmetric" one--it has the infinity sign diagonally embedded within it. Maybe that could be the currency symbol?

I like it. MoneroMooo, I will create a new high res version based on your work.

personally i prefer the second one. it looks more smooth (pun intended).
joke aside: the first one seems to hard to me - dont know how to explain it better in english..sorry

 
 
  
Well, being a fan of the non-symmetrical version, I could still get behind this particular symmetry.  It seems to preserve the shape of the "e" without degenerating into a squiggle.  Good job, MoneroMoo.
  
critical, other aeon fans, what are your thoughts?

It works in that I can see both the a and the e while using symmetry.  I don't know how much of that is because I know ahead of time what I should be seeing or how much seeing it right off matters.  I like the symmetry.  I don't have any thoughts about improving it.

Here's a variation on critical60's, which I've made to have the kind of single stroke that I had in mind.

It's a bit badly done, but it gives you the general outline.

 
  
Holy wow, Batman.  
  
I really like it.  I mean, I would slap that on my multi-million dollar product any day.  I still think we need to experiment with flaring the ends of the 'a' and 'e' slightly outward, but this might end up being my favorite version.  
  
It doesn't do the symmetry, but I was never a fan of the symmetry anyway.  The whole thing turns into a messy blob when we do that.  
  
But it does make awesome use of that luxurious blue, and include a nod to the yin-yang component while also championing the secret notion of "8" that has been buried in Aeon all this time anyway.  I say ignore all the people who are talking about what 'should' be done.  It doesn't matter what should be done - all that matters is what is actually being done.  And you are the one doing it.  
  
If someone wants to invest the money to hire a graphics company to design some logos - go for it.  But meanwhile we have a very captivating design created by a member of our community - right here and ready to print.  Also it's been two months of discussion on this and you are the only one to step up to the plate: and though you've been tipped, you put in your time and effort with no expectation of reward.  That's truly a community in action.  
  
Great things are coming in 2016 and 2017: this is how a new financial universe is born - with a lot of expansion, explosions, and cooling off.  No one is going to be rich by next spring - as is stated clearly in the first post of the [ANN] topic, if you are looking to double your money or get in early on the next big crypto-thing, please see your way to the door.  We are interested in creating one of the dominant private financial networks on Earth by way of the first luxury crypto object.  
  
The potential rewards are implied, but by no means promised.  And this will take as long as it takes - at this stage you aren't a speculator: you are an active participant.

Pretty good.

How about "An Aeon is Forever" as a slogan? See: http://wpo.st/JbSv0

I'm still playing with these when I have time. I think I like this one the most.

Yes, I don't plan on keeping it there.  I wanted it to stand there for a month as a statement of support for Aeon, but I will be moving it to a variety of sources.
