Toward a digimob logo

Here's a rough sketch of another proposal for the logo:


The mountain/broadcast design has been morphed into a triangle/broadcast design that I thought was more suitable for the overall logo. Other features:

• The idea of the "seed" described earlier has been used with the triangle design as well, with one triangle encapsulated in a larger one, and projecting outward into it.
  
• The small triangle contains the I Ching hexagram for "Inner Truth", as described earlier.
  
• The rays projecting outward from the pinnacle of the small triangle also follow the pattern of hexagram 61.
  
• The small triangle also contains the binary octal value 101, which is equals 5 (the pentagram/microcosm). These values also connect to the hexagram in that the yang and yin are grouped into yang-yang yin-yin yang-yang, or 1-1 0-0 1-1 in binary.
  
• Digimob below is written to suggest another triangle, but also the i's and o were taken to signify binary values, and drawn darker for that reason. Read from left to right, they yield 110, which is the number 6 (the hexagram/macrocosm).
  

I think the design could still be improved, but it's a pretty good representation of my line of thought. I also considered overlaying the lightning pattern made from following the Qabalistic Tree of Life onto this image. An interesting thing about this is that the apex of the small triangle would naturally map to Tiphareth, which means that the pinnacle of the large triangle would be Binah -- Understanding, which I think seems appropriate for digimob. Kether and Chokmah would suggest themselves above the larger triangle. Perhaps "digimob" then should be written in the empty space at the top of the large triangle. Incorporating this into the design would probably make "digimob" more prominent.

I should also note that as it is, 5 triangles are drawn or suggested:

1. The large triangle
   
2. The small triangle drawn within the large triangle
   
3. The triangle suggested by the geometry of the rays emitted from the small triangle
   
4. The triangle suggested by #3 in combination with the geometry of the peak of the large triangle
   
5. The triangle suggested by the styling of "digimob" below
   

5 again suggesting the microcosm. Adding the Tree of Life as mentioned above would change this to 6 triangles (including the one suggested by tracing from Kether to Chokmah), unless "digimob" were written at the top of the big triangle, as mentioned above. Whether the number of equilateral triangles in the logo is 5 or 6 is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.

That's all I got for now. Comments, please!

cool! gives me more ideas...will post when i get some free time.

It's currently disabled, but the portal page is basically a 'home page'. Here's Forumotion's description.

Excellent work! There are so many archetypes and characteristics that could be drawn into a logo, and I'm glad to see it generating a healthy discussion.

I've been thinking about this a bit more, recently, and it seems as though we could use a small logo image for affiliates and link-swaps... Thoughts?

This place is, Occult Digital Mobilization, why don't figure out something that has to do with the occult(hidden/forbidden, soon to be revealed), the digital(aquarian image, virtual worlds) and mobilization(people's efforts/awakening dreams, gatherings, mobs, against the norm/system)!?
Some thoughts that are coming to mind right now, are, an imagery with a person or people, whatever, investigating, in the night or in the dark, or in an alley, or in the threshold, scanning, walking, exploring, ex-changing, investigating, being chased, in disguise, underground information, books, rare or forbidden books/manuscripts from private collections, revealing it to the world etc etc,

Hey just a few thoughts, don't curse me already !!!

Yes, affiliates!

Lol, hmm, so those were who projected into my mind and made me write all this, gotta be careful next time...

Okay, since there hasn't been any further attention to this, we're [temporarily?] using what's been submitted:

i confer my official stamp of approval. subtle, classy, dig it.

Yeah, looks like there's not likely to be more usable work on this, so I guess we go with what we've got.

a variation, for sites where a border would help:

Wow! I like that one too! Maybe we can send affiliates both and let them choose which one they'd like?

yes yes yes! i really like this option as well! the oval shape is suggestive of an egg, which i think is appropriate to our ends. also, the border makes it look professional. i agree that we should send both out.
