Progressive Revolution Symbol Design Standards....Thread 2 - ARTISTS!!!

[xultar]

It occurred to some and it was brought to my attention that we may have started this process all wrong.
starroute, chaska &, Tinoire have been helping me behind the scenes and nostamj also had the same ideas...we need standards guidelines. It is tough for designers to come up with something without knowing where they should start.

So...

Let's set the foundation with the standards. Things like, should it be an abstract or not? What are the colours of the revolution. What do the colours mean? etc...

starroute came up with some excellent standards to start. Can we get some of your ideas in addition. Great thing about this. No artistic skills needed here.

starroute's standards.

An abstract sign, not a picture of anything and not a recognizable everyday form like a paper clip.

A design you've never seen before. Something with no prior associations. (Especially not the fleur de lys, which was the symbol of the French monarchy.)

So simple it can be scrawled on a wall or worked into jewelry. Not dependent on the use of color. But also able to be elaborated and decorated.

If possible, something with elements that symbolize solidarity, caring, mutuality, and unity-in-diversity. Probably involving circles more than straight lines.

Actually, what comes to my mind is some of the crop circle designs, which (whatever their real origin) tend to be both extremely powerful and extremely harmonious. ...snip
