My New Avatar

in stemms •  8 years ago 

My old logo contained known inaccuracies which I planned to fix. However, yesterday I imagined the basics of my new logo.
I change the old hardly, but I made the decision after all. The old one is too harsh, I made it when I was in different mood than now...

I've made more versions, and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, yet containing as much personal symbolism as before or even more. I use the term "personal symbolism", because some lines don't mean anything to others but me. It's perfectly OK. It's like a poem or a painting, you could think out your own version about it. It's definitely enough if you associated the logo with me after you see it many times.
I'll change to the new avatar everywhere soon.

When I look at both I just instantly see runes. Tiw and Sowelu in the top and the new? second one, is like Jera (the harvest). I also think of other symbol correspondences like the second one resembling the symbol for Cancer (astrology) and the Tai Chi of taoism.

Wow, @l0k1! And you had mentioned Tiw before I answered @smalltalk about my day of birth. That day was a Tuesday, which is from Tiw's Day. Tiw's other names are Tiwaz, Tyr, Tio. The last one was similar to my name, Tibo (and my real first name, which is Tibor) and I like this. Also, his rune is similar to a T, and he is a great god. That was the start. The god's rune who gives his name for the day of my born and whose name is similar to mine.

I just learned I was born on a monday in the evening. I never thought to learn it lol

I had started a post series where I post every week at Sunday, and I became curious about how old I am in calendar weeks. :D For that, I needed to know which day I was born on.

I have always loved mondays., especially nights. So quiet. I am going to start celebrating my birthday from now on :)

Do you mind sharing your thought process while designing the new logo? And maybe talking more about what it means TO YOU.

The thought process was long and I was uncertain until the final result about do I really want to change the old? I can say that it was started by finding out which day I was born on.

It's meaning everything that I can see in it, which is a long list. But if I want to explain it in a sentence:
It is the balance of the great powers, the stillness and stability by endless movement caused by eternal forces.
