Hi all,
OK, I have a design that I really think is fantastic and you're going to love. I came up with something that embodies the principles I stated before, but also combines them with the inspiration of others who have come up with icons from the program itself, as well as giving an extremely high-tech, yet artistic flavor.
Three color sets:
[/] The logo spells out the two letters Pd, placing them within an icon readily recognizable to Pd afficianados. Simplicity itself, it is a reduction into the fundamentals. The letters themselves are as pure unadorned data, sans-serif, and yet stylistic and suggesting there is deepness to be explored and discovered.
[/] Eastern influenced motif reflects on the harmony/disharmony possible from pd as well as the universality of possibilities -- pd is elemental enough to be a building block for anything and as such represents everything.
[\a/] Camoflauge color set gives a sense of utility and functionality, with adventurousness and a bit of artistry thrown in. Camoflauge also hints at the chameloan nature of pd which can be used to make anything you like while blending in.
[\a/] Brick/adobe color set suggest energy and yet suggests architecture, house building, and a do-it-yourself spirit, coupled with a southwestern flavor.
[\a/] Hangkul color scheme fuses ancient principles of waves and sound embodied as mysticism through community, with the futuristic and practical.
