21 sats \ 5 replies \ @zapsammy 1 Sep \ on: What creative ideas have you been rambling on? Design
what i got:
symbols:
- satoshi hidden inside the granola bar
- granola: stacker news lettering, cuz that's where the design will come from
- satoshi-granola-bar also masquerades as the ladder to the 3rd eye
- the 3rd eye: totally awakened consciousness
- R-pedestal: the R (reptilian) brain complex, the survival mode
- checkerboard floor: base consciousness, where most of the unbegun people dwell
- the portal of Creation (Genere) or the letter "G"
- 8: "-eat/eight" and the infinity
- GR8: the Great
what i need:
aesthetic design, proper coloring, not too simple, nor not too complex of detail, so that i won't need a high-resolution printer, and so that the 2" x 2" logo can fit unto a wrapped granola bar
Look's like is a really complex logo with plenty of symbols, each with a specific meaning. It's definitely possible to have it all merge together in an aesthetical symphony. A minimalistic representation of what this illustration could be.
I think the important is how all these elements play together and how they relate. It's critical to have the audience interpret and receive the message you want to send out.
Few questions:
- why you want to use the lightning font used for SN logo for your logo?
- is the G represented with the bigger circle? what it supposed to be? it looks a wave to me, of water or energy.. or light?
- is the final brand name GR8 Granola?

this granola bar will only be available to the few that can appreciate the value of this food and/or those that are capable of knowing bitcoin & nostr; basically, it will be and shud be out of reach of the normie population (spoiler: those might eat the bugs...); same for the logo; IYKYK; obviously available to all that are intelligent enough to acquire it and understand it; plus it's open-source and open-distribution =)
it's not as high-vibration food as the fresh organic juice, but it's a humble type of food for humble times; i think an even lower-vibration food than that wud be something like biltong or beef-jerky, but i digress...
- lightning font is cool, and the kabbalah lightning bolt is the satoshi symbol; it's a subtle symbol that took me a while to see; throughout history the esoteric symbols and messages have been hidden in plain sight, and bitcoin symbolism is no different;
- the G is the portal; Genere is the creative potential within All; the trick is to activate it; so i wonder if it cud be like a rainbow painted by a brush... emanating from and rising above the R-pedestal into infinity
- i think GR8 granola is the final mark, yea; not necessarily a brand or a trade-mark; i am striving to bring about an evolution in distributing goodness; meaning it wud be an open-source symbol just like satoshis are, or a raw milk from cows... or anything that grows;
all in all, this is quite a big project, because if it succeeds... what we call money might no longer be necessary for sustenance on edible goods; it might still be necessary for stuff like energy, as most are too far from energy independence;

That's a big pillow to swallow with a granola bar! The values a brand, product, or an idea aim to propagate does not need to be forcefully embedded in the logo. There are other ways to translate such concepts into reality and make it digestible. A logo — from my perspective— need to be simple, memorable, easily recognizable at any size and distance.

recall bumble-gum wrappers, that were propagating allegorical messages in a short comic-strip format? a complex logo wud be somewhere in between a minimalistic logo and a short comic on a wrapper; i can include a QR code on the reverse to link to an explainer of what message is being conveyed... maybe people cud collect a cashu token?

yea, the pills shud be quite potent today... look, if they want a decoding cypher for the symbolism, there will be a page or two about that, haha; wud u prefer that bitcoin signal/clue morphs into a tiny orange dot, or convey wisdom of the (s)ages? the satoshi symbol does just that (kabbalistic lightning bolt)! humanity had plenty of time and opportunities to figure this out... now it's time to OPEN THE MOUTH WIDE!
whoever is incapable of swallowing a potent pill shud just stay humble, stack sats, and earn back some attention-freedom to study this stuff; i think my logo is quite dumbed-down, compared to some traditions, like the masonic tracing boards (see below);
