Habemus Logo! part 2

This time, animated but without any sound effect added...

I think things start to look a bit more coherent now and I`m certainly glad to be able to put my ideas into practice after such a long time of thinking and re-thinking, sketching and erasing pre-production process. Just goes to show what I have always known about the way I work...if I don`t get it in just the right way I feel I need it to be...no work will get done. I need to figure it out first and then combine the pieces of the puzzle into a coherent whole...and after it makes sense in my head, the possibilities are endless (so I like to tell myself, anyway)...

Habemus Logo!

Holy smoke up the chimney of the conclave! This took quite a while and I was loosing hope. Even more so given that I`ve been lacking any ideas on how I would want the logo to look like in the first place. Wish I could show the development and gradual birth of my little baby, but it was as sudden as a....well, sudden! I only made a quick sketch in my sketchbook and swiftly took to 3D Studio Max to profit from the burst of inspiration...the first in the last week (oh God! It is like a breath of fresh air, feelings of guilt over my laziness were getting overwhelming!)

The basic symbolism is of course easily linked to the now infamous Dyonisian and Apollonian shtick I`ve been pulling since the beginning of the project. One, impetuous, ondulating, uncontrolable and unconscious, the other, a steadying force, a thin yet utterly necessary veil laid over the storm brewing underneath...no wholly containing and stopping it (neither should it do that), nor letting it wreck havoc.
