Finally found some time to try out my graphic design skills with the Logo for @TheNewAlchemists contest held by @lilyraabe I don´t think that graphic design is one of my strong suits (if I have any of those...) but since i´m in steemit, I´m somehow compeled to go out of my confort zone, and I´m liking it so why not give it a try. :) For the contest, Lily asked for a logo that wasn´t specific of any art since the goal of @TheNewAlchemists is to curate all kinds of arts. That´s a challenge. How to say art whitout showing any of the typical icons.... hmmmmm... I´ll have to go more conceptual that I´m used to, so let´s begin with a search. First thing that came into my mind was to try with cave art or something related to it, as a meaning to say that if you find art, you find a treasure. ![800px-GuaTewet_tree_of_life-LHFage.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaG7BoiFPDV5RgNqpSNctbnaKSp2CA2nujbkWx4QSyZPn/800px-GuaTewet_tree_of_life-LHFage.jpg) [Source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cave_art#/media/File:GuaTewet_tree_of_life-LHFage.jpg) That is the feeling I think the first people finding something like this must had. But you don´t go with your first idea without looking for something better. The idea evolved and I started looking for ancient gods of art in different cultures and some symbol related to them. That´s when these guys appeared! ![Eye_idol_MET_DP224749.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc6UG5AxCCnmwTP1PDZzatBX3JbECxYNtFv9nq97N4UQB/Eye_idol_MET_DP224749.jpg) [Source](https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324155) They´re some extrange all seeing god idols from Tell Brak, todays Syria. I really liked them so I tried to apply the idea to a character. ![sketch1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVhTaotiCjpGzC4AnRo5kJn6TNZ2jwKviUVtswMFhohVp/sketch1.jpg) ![sketch2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPHgYw5qqyExtWaDWL1JHv6rXJ9UmQoaLAjgULudtEFin/sketch2.jpg) The characters are kind of funny but they weren´t telling "art" for me and I decided to abandon the idea of a character for the logo. After a bit of thinking I finally decided to make different shapes with different colors representing the different arts and an eye that´s always looking for them. That is, at least, the idea in my mind. :) ![logo.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmevpTzizzez5ThaCTjkMUMNKCos9H1ocnWBuGyf31xDqJ/logo.jpg) Then I included the "artsearch" word over different background tones. ![artsearchlogo_w.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUtprymwwJsBLwvWbfGj8RGAEJcND6TZmrHJhtPueHPc9/artsearchlogo_w.jpg) ![artsearchlogo_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwSrZZbYdVfkfQdDPYFHLUzdSrwAvr2knB5FnWz1ZfKN/artsearchlogo_n.jpg) ![artsearchlogo_d.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQma9NQnnp7mXCzhuU9J4AMsnLGcRyqXcfJuojD2XfumBko/artsearchlogo_d.jpg) And that´s it.
