I was talking with Staks last weekend, and he was glad to see that we went and got ourselves a domain, but thought we could use a little branding. I had been using the gnu atheist symbol for some time, and liked it because not only was I really amused by the “gnu” moniker, but I also thought the horns were appropriate.
Horns…as in horny. Because we are poly, and we like sex with more than one person…responsibly…whatever! I thought it was a little clever (or was it cleaver….).
In any case, I had even mocked up a little icon to use, so that I could have a little reference to the blog (that is hardly visible), but ultimately we need our own logo. So I created a logo today.
Now, I am not a graphic artist by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t have any great picture editing software (I use Gimp, and might need a better one for future ventures). But I came up with a concept I like, and tolerably decent first attempt.
It certainly is not professional, and with more time and perhaps better software I might be able to do something better, but in the future I might have a real graphic artist take a crack at it.
If you are a graphic artist and think you’d like to give it a shot, I would love that! I don’t know what I have to give in barter or payment, but perhaps something could be worked out.
