aleles Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Hey everyone! We are building a project to promote practical philosophy among Russian speaking people. The closest translation of the project's name is "Virtuous Mind" in one word. We are looking for a variation of the FDR logo or a logo that pictures a virtuous mind (whatever that can be). If you have any ideas or suggestions or maybe you know someone who can help with graphics, we'd really appreciate it! Thanks! Alex
Matt D Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Hi Alex, I would like to help with this project. I'd like to sketch some ideas free of charge and if you find one that you like you can throw me some cash for a fully refined logo. Let me know if this interests you. Matt
aleles Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Hey guys, sorry for the late response. Adam, thank you for your time and the logo. Matt, thanks for your input. Melissa from http://wingspangraphics.com/ kindly volunteered and designed a logo for us. A huge thank you to Melissa, it was an exciting experience to work with her! Here's her post I found https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/38531-custom-logo-design-starting-at-just-180-for-freedomainradio-members/ Promoting freedom across the globe! 1
Daniel Unplugged Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I don't know if this will be helpful for designing your logo, but this seems like a good place for me to post my analysis of the FDR logo. It features 3 people holding hands. Presumably the holding-hands-chain encircles the world. I'm not a big fan 2 things there. Firstly, encircling the world makes me think of a one world government, and the holding hands reminds me of communistic kum-bye-ah singing. I prefer a handshake, indicating negotiations/contracts/not reaching for your gun (hence my logo), or the high-five type handshake indicating strength/competition. The people in the FDR logo are the letter i's, indicating me/i/individualism, also, the front i is the largest, indicating that the individual need not submit to the will of the collective, and may serve himself/supremacy of the individual/not all people are equal, nice work there. Finally in the logo that used to proceed the podcasts, the sun is behind the Earth, indicating that the world is in darkness. It also looks like the sun is about to rise, indicating the age or reason/enlightenment may arrive soon or that the goal of FDR is to usher it in. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, anyway, hope this helps you make a better logo. One more quick note.The three people holding hands looks like a b52 bomber, but I'm sure that was unintentional.
