The big cube (see above; slightly cropped) was going to be the logo for my company. Okay, I actually designed it a long time after the logo I use now. So, I couldn’t have wanted to use this one, if you get my meaning. It’s really just an idea I had to represent the design and printing aspects of graphic design. The primary printing colors (CMYK), the dimensionality of the cube dramatically demonstrated by the cutaway. The big fat stroke around it – which is cool.
This is the sigil I really use representing the name of my company – square bones. A visual metaphor: cross-section of a square bone – if there were such a thing – square on the outside and round on the inside. The outer stroke represents the artificial restraints man puts on his world, molding it to his own design, making it uniquely his (or hers). The circular middle stroke is nature juxtaposing itself against, and demonstrating its ir·re·press·ibil·i·ty {had to look that word up} toward, man’s artifice. The inner square just needed to be there to make it complete. The colors are calming and are nearly complimentary. It’s easier on the eye than the cmyk cubic, anyway, but maybe not as outspoken.
I like this one too – a lot. But it was for a different company name I once owned – same thing, different name.
