Session 24 October 2009

I like the logo but...I am surprised to see the yin and yang symbols rotated 90 degrees from the crop circle version. The colors are an interesting choice. I am red and green color blind so the colors you picked are the same ones I see when I look at a rainbow.

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, but you're right. I wonder if it was a conscious adjustment for a particular reason or not. Otherwise, I think the design is looking really good, and I like the choice of colors in the colored version also.
 
I think the design would "flow" better with the yin and yang symbols matching the orientation as in the crop circle in my opinion.
 
That’s cosmic work right there.

The logo seems to have a very terrestrial focus, yet behind it also very celestial

Very nice indeed! :)

I agree -- it seems good to leave the original be (just like we don't want to alter POTS and so forth). Let's see what the creators of the logo have to say -- maybe there is a reason for the change that we aren't aware of.

Okay, Here is the color version of the complete logo:

It's really nice!

I notice the small notch in the lower half of the center of the infinity symbol (in gold) - it's a bit distracting, I think (well, to me - but that really means nothing, objectively).

Is it, perhaps, supposed to be suggestive of a nose, or beak, with the gold being the outline of eyes? Perhaps I'm just seeing things, but it jumped out at me, since that notch drew my attention - perhaps the lack of symmetry was what pulled my eye to it...

I'm glad you said that, anart; I was trying to figure out the esoteric significance of the notch. :lol:

The logo is beautiful. It would look fabulous as a gold and enamel pin.

It bothers me that I can't say that I like the logo. I think one ying/yang symbol is sufficient and that the concept of unity somehow enclosing any 'distinctions' should be made more obvious.

Having said that, I understand that my likes and dislikes are by no means any standard of measure and that I can be content with however it comes out. My apologies if this doesn't sit well with any readers. Maybe I just need to correlate all the aspects of the logo with knowledge available in this Work. :)

It bothers me that I don't like it either. :huh:

It reminds me of bug eyes {{shudder}}

I'd like it a little plainer.
 
I like the logo but I am not sure about the color scheme. Was there any reason these colors were chosen for the logo?

I also agree that to change the directions of the yin yang symbols may be better. Also in the crop circle the yin yang symbols are not centered in the inner circles but off to the side away from the middle. Maybe there was also a reason to change this?

Well anyways keep up the good work! :rockon:

I understand, I think. And, in the world of logos 'plain' is really, really powerful. So, perhaps the simpler version should be the mainstay. Laura gets to the point here, I think:

Yes, there is a reason. If you think about any other religion, they have a symbol that can be drawn quickly by anyone in just a couple of strokes.

With this in mind, the color one really does seem to be a bit much - ( and I'd like to know the thinking behind that notch! ;) )
 
I spent some time comparing the crop circle photo with the colour symbol. My impression is that the crop circle is of a very decent elegance and harmony. Regrettably the colour symbol in comparison is modified in some details, which imo are disturbing this harmony. I would vote for a symbol, which is closer to the original. Maybe a kind of photoshopped copy and maybe even with the vertical orientation, which looks good on the photo.

I wonder, could the design be made to look more like the original crop circle along with the color, green and white (tan/gray)? I think it would be nice if it was clearly identifiable as a crop circle design. And being that it is a Cosmic Mind creation, I think one should try to maintain its integrity, so to speak.

Just think, on 6th density, all is unified thought and everyone is in total agreement! Since we're 3rd, maybe half of us agree? :P

Its interesting, because I just showed this to a friend I'm with right now who has no connection with the forum in order to get an 'outside' opinion, and the reaction they had was 'it looks like bug eyes, like a fly' and 'its too much -- it needs to be simpler' (the second in reaction to the colored version). So they had pretty much the same reaction as Shar. I also wonder about vertical orientation vs horizontal orientation, which broken.english mentioned -- it might be interesting to experiment with that.
