Knismolagniac symbol???

[Babyshambles]

I dunno, like with all things is down to opinion, I actually find the neuron thing more visually attractive than the BDSM Symbol, and would be far more likely to shove it on a T-shirt, looks really cool, Cavum did one to show us.


As for the questons, If I didnt want to explain it, ide just say its "just a symbol" I have found people genrally dont turn it into an inquisition and they just leave it at that, they do it with the BDSM symbol tattood on my arm, I never have any awkward moments with it.

You could always say its a symbol for happiness and laughter 😛

In retrospect, even five minutes down the line the neuron is growing on me. I can really see it working. Perhaps I would make one change, I would have it symmetrical all round - with equal-sized tendrils. .... Oh and no dots.....Mephistoles and Skippy have clearly been perhaps hitting the good stuff a little too hard

Perhaps..

I agree that its as, if not more visually attractive altered the way you mention, But with that it loses the tree effect symbolising growth of community and such like, and wouldno longer BE a Neuron as biologically it does have a longer part coming off it... this may all be trivial tho 😛

How important are these details? the growth? The relevance to what its modeled on as an image?

 

[-Hari-]

So we can see and discuss it:

Does this ruin it? I guesss its still kinda standing there like a tree would so is the growth aspect really lost?...

I like it better as a tree. It seems to loose definition all the same size

Wow - where was I when differing opinions started to mean someone wasn't mentally sound 😕

I absolutely prefer it the other way. It looks more...anchored?? This, to me, just looks incomplete.

I like the second one I did following mammers symbol

Me too, its another very strong image 🙂

A good point, im kinda accepting to the change but I definatly prefere it as it was.

What say Babyshambles?

Something else that sparks a brain cell or two in this head of mine, is that having that longer end kinda says that as a community we arnt the same all the way round, we have different opinions and tastes etc

....thoughts on that?

I say both look equally good. If the consensus likes the long stalk, then the long stalk wins the day.

However, I feel the more rounded version will work better on badges, pins etc.

I envisage the symbol on a circular background of some sorts akin to the BDSM symbol.

 

[MasterPaladin]

then put the symbol inside a circle lol

 

[Babyshambles]

You missed that vote/

Oh well, I suppose you had bigger things on your mind - what with the mental incapacity and all

hahaha, I amuse myself sometimes.

Seriously, you're fine.

i'm thinking less a circle, more a shiny, pseudo-metallic shiney badge/circular shield.

Whew - thinking that you didn't approve almost ruined my day 🙄

 

[MasterPaladin]

I don't know if you saw this but I got this idea from mammers contribution

 

[Babyshambles]

Whew - thinking that you didn't approve almost ruined my day 🙄

I'm glad I could provide some clarification on this point.

For your peace of mind if nothing else.

I approve.

Just a reminder to all.

Please be sure to keep any criticism constructive.

Everyone is free to theyre opinion but putting it across need not be sarcastic or cruel.

[MasterPaladin]

be back later all and I am still saving all contributions

 

[MasterPaladin]

listen up everybody
i just want to give my personal opinion
its not a negative or sarcastic comment

i just want to say that i'm not agree with *the neuron tree*
it looks like a dark sect logo, a ninja tatoo, a diabolical or psychedelic symbol

its just too dark
and without a clear sense

😛
what about my ideas ?

there are many others here do you see any that you like and if not give me an idea what you would think might make for a good one.

Dunno about the growth aspect, but with respect to the visual strength of your symbol, it's better with the extended axon stalk. Anything with the pieces too self-similar is less interesting.

 

[*persimmons*]

In my opinion, I really liked the original neuron design that Haribish made. I thought it went well with the description and it represented what this community is about. I don't know whether I like it with/without the dots, I think I missed the post explaining the meaning behind them. I think they're all great designs, considering how uncreative I am I'm impressed with it all but like I said, the neuron is my favorite.

Great thread, btw.

Looks like a wannabe Chinese throwing star. Kinda awkward little thing. :\

I don't like all the sharp, pointed edges. Wouldn't we want something a little less... sharp, prickly.. pointy? Smoothed edges, whimsical-esque curvature? All this sharp looking designs seem a bit out of the realms of tickling, IMO.

 

[Sir Bombers]

Yes I think I see too... it's shorten stalk appearance does give it a type of evil, diabolical look to it...

It no long looks like a neuron symbol now... but a dark star of some sort...

 

[-Hari-]

Im quite glad its prefered with the longer stalk, as I also feel that way.

As for the sharp edges...well...theres sharp edges and friendly curves, I reckon it has a nice balance.

But of course its totally down to opinion.

Someone mentioned it had no clear meaning?
A symbol rarely does, they have meaning that tends to need to be explained. Which it has been...

I think most can agree that its a strong image.

However I think wee all need to see more fresh ideas put on the table tho, like the one mammers came up with and MasterP simplified.

I removed the gray shapes to see what it looks like.

Fresh Ideas, eh?

Well I guess I could put my contribution up anyway since most are turning to the neuron symbol... maybe it could help anyone for future ideas.

Mine is just my interpretation of a combination of what everybody has said in the past as to what they would like to see in a symbol... I've try to make as simple and as less obvious to it's true purposes as possible...


Everyone seemed to like the triskelion shape in the past, so I incorporated that into a design that shows a depiction of mirth, although it would be difficult to decipher unless closer inspection takes place... from afar it would look like just a regular design 😉

If you feel you have to lie in a confrontation... then you can say it's a sign of passionate happiness or something... lol

Why do symbolize mirth so prominently in the pic? Because that's what I think tickling does on both the sexual and non-sexual fronts... the shape shows a connection of three face of mirth at the middle, symbolizing tickling in general and its binding effects in our community.

Someone mentioned that the color red before, and that it can be interpreted as symbolizing "passion" or "love"... so I've included that to touch on the sexual and non-sexual love, gratification aspects of tickling in general.

Feathers were not included because, of the varying reactions to them every time they were mentioned...

I have no idea what the black shapes would be...I just thought they looked cool.... 😀

So anyway...here's my contribution to this monumental event! 😀
