INTP Logo & Emblem

[Ascending]

I was reading the secret society thread and have been wanting to give this a try for awhile. I'm sorry if I'm pulling the carpet out from under anybody.

In designing a logo simplicity is key I believe. I did not want to make a complex picture but a simple symbol that would be represenitive; a bit like the Hacker's Glider.

Feel free to play with the colors, I'm not quite certain what to do there.

Can anyone guess what it is abstract of? Find the symbolism? I'm interested to see if I'm the only one who sees it.
Let the Flames begin.

This smacks of ennea sixness or at least social fiveness. But if people like the idea I won't protest.

[Ascending]

Elaborate more specifically on your objection?

[PsiKik]

This is my favorite, simple.

This seems to indicate the World, not sure how that forms part of the concept.

http://img50.exs.cx/img50/3277/intplogogifwglobe2el.gif

The atom seems to imply too much scienceness.

[Serotonin]

I have no objection. But I don't want to take part in the politics of who makes the decision to yay or nay it. I like the logos, they kinda remind me of UNICEF.

[Serotonin]

Or the Golden Snitch!

A logo would be nice. Being an INTP who runs a forum myself, I know how easy it is for us to forget about using graphics or formatting to "dress up" a website. We don't see the point of such things usually.

[Swift]

I think it should contain the letters "INTP".

[booyalab]

To be perfectly blunt, I hate them all. Zedo and I are working on logo ideas.."too"

[booyalab]

oops! hehe I thought you were talking about the forum.....for the "INTP secret society" I like the third one.

[Ascending]

Hark! A naysayer, whats more competition! :D

Like I said, I was going for simple geometic design. Something with INTP on it would probably lean towards a site banner more. Although I'm open for adjustments.

If no one has found the symbolism yet it is the keeper of knowlege.

I think there should be a logo contest. Best way to get the best one, and could be fun!

[nBT]

contest! cool

[Ascending]

I'm a bit fond of the last one. Update:

Phew...

[coffeezombie]

I feel like I am prepared to fly into space once that logo is bestowed upon me.

[Ascending]

and its full of coffee! *Appeal to the buzz factor* :)

What impartial judge is going to organize this contest?

I was just joking with you. It's a good logo. I like its aesthetic qualities although perhaps another design might represent INTPness better. I certainly don't have any better ideas, although I can't say I've pondered a logo for my personality type much.

I like those two...the first looks like somebody seated at their easychair (seem from above) probably reading...the second reminds me of the clutter my desk has,.

Or mabye he's carrying boomboxes made from newspaper. Hmm...

Here's me presenting my INTP logo. I think it would be quite fitting.

Hehe, how about this?

Threads are heavy, I think I gave myself a hernia lifting this one back onto the tracks.

[misutii]

i don't like the light blue, some different colours maybe? grey, dark red...

[Ascending]

I also am not certain of the colors, they are subject to change. I intialy chose blue as it is often seen as symbolic for the mind and deepness.

[nBT]

albino raven
messenger of the skies

(its a way too rough sketch, many styles still possible)

[Ascending]

Great profile nBT, I'm impressed. Interesting color scheme also, although I'm not really fond of the green shading or red eye.

[tragula]

For whatever it's worth!

The blue wingy thing looks too much like the USAF logo.

I like the smooth edged b&w, though...

[nBT]

ooooeh the maze is phun
blow it up,
make a folded space maze,

To me it looks like an overhead shot of a person sitting in a large comfortable chair, an outward INTP trait.
The colors bother me as well.

[Ascending]

Feel free to adjust them. Paint can is a very easy tool to use. ;)

[Crazy]

How's this for a repaint (just generally, I'm too lazy to clean it up.)

[garak]

I wonder how many people are refraining from commenting because they don't want to hurt feelings? :) I was doing that, but ah, screw it.

I think the bird along with the "square spiral" or whatever you wanna call it logo, would look good together. Not sure exactly how, though. The blue winged thing doesn't trip my trigger much.

[Niflheimian]

The blue logo looks dated and schlocky (not to offend the poor dear). The bird was decent, and so far the only thing possibly worthy of being emblem to so grand a forum.

Some of the avatars here are good, maybe we could have a collage bordering the top of the main page?

[Ascending]

Meh, who cares, I just wanted to experiment with geometric design. Pshaw people, its not like I spent much time on it. :P

[nBT]

garak maybe you would llike to tell what specific avatar you had in mind?

I think the square spiral and bird could make an interesting combination.

Hehehe. Well, what can I tell you. I don't like the birds, and the text is just "OK." ...But... I still don't have alternatives to offer, because I was an hour away from getting my computer checked out when I had to "fix" my car again. Do what you must! I'll submit one after I have a car to drive my pc around, fix it, install software, and jam it out. You can tell me to stick it up my ass if you feel like it. --The late E.Z.

change the symbol to a swastika and it'll be ok with me :ph34r:


OOOO and the bird should be attacking people with SJ tattoos on their forehead.

[garak]

Hey can we get a bigger version of the square spiral logo? tragula?

[Edmond Zedo]

Here's a preview from 5 mins work in MS Paint. I sketched central as more than just text, but this will have to do.

Here you go!

Personally I like the crow a lot. It is a different sort of look. I'm not sure it meshes well with the one I did....

I certainly don't think you can have the maze AND the crow in the same logo.

Also, for what it's worth, and since this is a bit of a free for all :-) I'm not sure I get the whole white crow thing.... I played with the colors a bit:

ehh I dunno. Can it be a crow that gives an INTP rock god the powers to come back from the dead and seek vegeance on his enemies?

Well that is what we have been heading towards:

(nBT is doing a new raven too)

[Ascending]

Might be better without the purple background. The transisiton seems sudden.

[indie]

I generally like the idea of the bird, but those legs are a wee bit too human. It almost looks like some leggy supermodel is trying to wriggle into a gigantic crow costume . . .

[Edmond Zedo]

How did this bird business get started? Why not a Sig 9mm or something?

[Ascending]

Certain prefixed political affliations come to mind...

At the risk of having my feelings hurt again. :laser:

-Complexity is in there. :)

[tragula]

Take 2:

[indie]

The maze is a bit too stuffy. . . literally. There is only one way in and no way out. No breathing room. An impression of being a bit "boxed in."

Do like what you did with the words "INTP Central," though. ;)

EDIT: whoa, trag. . . just read your "location" :rofl:

[coffeezombie]

Is that a swastika variant?

[tragula]

Hmm.
I think all these mazes must have some sort of subliminal swastika thing going on.... Sigh.
I copied it from a clip art book, and then traced it and changed it to try and make it less...er... naziesque? Because I sort of noticed it too. Guess I didn't quite succeed. Amazing how people zero in on the merest hint of a certain geometric pattern.

And....yes... it does get a tad claustrophobic in the city every so often.... :-)

[YardGnome]

I like the maze...

[Claverhouse]

Is that a swastika variant?
No, it's a Greek Key. ( Part of an endless pattern. )

after much deliberation, the new logo has been put in place. thanks guys.

It was really a matter of the three R's. Revision Revision Revision.

I mean, sometimes I had that one extra brush stroke, other times, too few. It was hard to find the balance. It was hard to stay true to my vision.
