<2021-03-18T08:30:48.000Z> Leitis: Hey, do you still want some avi, logo design for Godcast ? 
<2021-03-18T17:40:18.000Z> Godcast: I'm good. If fediverse use blows up, I'll probably make my presence here more "official looking"
<2021-03-18T18:39:16.000Z> Leitis: No, I mean like for the Show. I contacted  you awhile for a free commision on design
<2021-03-18T20:16:50.000Z> Godcast: Yes, I remember now. Sorry about not getting back to you, a lot has come up since then
<2021-03-18T20:20:14.000Z> Leitis: This is why I bother you. Protestants may have work ethic, catholics have long memories tho. :)
<2021-03-18T20:21:02.000Z> Godcast: Fair enough lol
<2021-03-18T20:21:55.000Z> Leitis: So as I said, I need your wishes and we can go with the iteration process. Really just tell me what you want, how you feel about Godcast, what you want to present. Don't speak about the particular visuals, unless you have style you like
<2021-03-18T21:02:14.000Z> Godcast: I'll get back to you with something later today (I'm at work right now)
<2021-03-19T17:40:26.000Z> Leitis: Got something for me? 
<2021-03-22T19:10:54.000Z> Leitis: Hey, You got something for me?
<2021-03-22T21:59:29.000Z> Godcast: Pardon the blurriness. I'm thinking something like this. I'd like to go with something simple and monochrome. If you have other ideas, don't hesitate to share https://poa.st/media/951321ab34a969b7edae55bea12ee963211be181f4eb82f864baa14ce46624ee.jpg
<2021-03-23T03:57:13.000Z> Leitis: If you don’t mind, tell me instead about what you want to present as. 
<2021-03-23T03:58:43.000Z> Leitis: The theory of logo is that it has to be scalable from a penny to a billboard and a child should be able to scribble it on a paper. So yeah, it will be monochrome and as simple as possible. 
<2021-03-23T03:59:42.000Z> Godcast: It's a figure on one knee in front of a cross with "Godcast" and "Phillipians 2:10-11" on there somewhere
<2021-03-23T04:01:20.000Z> Leitis: This is a precise image that you describe. If it’s a straight up commision, I can work with it. 
<2021-03-23T04:02:45.000Z> Leitis: Now my question is, can I reinterpret it visually? Can I minimize, stylize or simplify? Could the visual idea be ‘veneration of the cross’? 
<2021-03-23T04:03:46.000Z> Godcast: If you know who Owen Cyclops is, I was thinking something like his lineart style
<2021-03-23T04:04:26.000Z> Leitis: I know of Owen. 
<2021-03-23T04:06:19.000Z> Leitis: I really don’t do his style. I like more of a stark, graphical modernism. What would you say you like the most in it? The colors? Or the abstraction of his figures? 
<2021-03-23T04:13:54.000Z> Leitis: owencyclops.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/templarBIG2-150x150.jpg
<2021-03-23T04:18:43.000Z> Leitis: For instance take this imagery. It’s not simple. But it’s colors are flat and not harmonized. Meaning any color goes with any. Figures are more child-like and highly symbolic. 
<2021-03-23T04:21:28.000Z> Leitis: This is very medieval in it’s style. Usually in that art symbolism was more important than anything, even aesthetic unity. 
<2021-03-23T04:29:05.000Z> Godcast: The figure abstraction is mostly what like
<2021-03-23T04:30:49.000Z> Leitis: I think a better inspiration would be medieval glass rather than painting 
<2021-03-23T04:30:56.000Z> Leitis: previews.123rf.com/images/tashka/tashka1202/tashka120200005/12371693-vitrage-of-the-famous-medieval-st-malo-church-in-historic-dinan.jpg
<2021-03-23T04:32:22.000Z> Godcast: That's the opposite direction of what I'm looking for lol
<2021-03-23T06:23:43.000Z> Leitis: Alright, so keep the figurative abstraction, keep it more contemporary. I read the Phil 2, do I have correct interpretation that you would prefer a more masculine 'all knees shall bow' interpretation. 
<2021-03-23T06:27:34.000Z> Leitis: I mean that you would say more like "God will force you to kneel before Christ', rather than ' God will awe you with Christ' 
<2021-03-23T06:29:22.000Z> Godcast: Just the scripture reference, "Phillipians 2:10-11"
<2021-03-23T06:31:04.000Z> Leitis: yes, but imigary is a kneeling person in front of cross. I'm not asking for guidance for precise image, but I'm trying to understand your feelings about the topic. It may sound gay, or whatever, but this is just a method of how to develop artwork
<2021-03-23T06:31:43.000Z> Leitis: Anyway, I think I have everything I need, I'll return to you with sketches
<2021-03-23T06:31:59.000Z> Godcast: I appreciate it, thank you
