Hey there! We've had some conversation at the discord about coming up with a new logo, some people are already working on it but as an effort to include more people I'm starting this thread. Last night, just before going to bed, I had a few ideas I thought I'd share. Bear in mind that I was sleepy as hell so expect very rough drafts: This is the first one I thought about and it's kind of impractical, but maybe it can give you guys some ideas. This image does a really bad job at explaining itself (please ignore the blank part), it's supposed to show a full screen of mike's table and then flicks rapidly to ours, symbolizing how what used to be done by mike is now being done by a whole community. This is the one I like the most, as it quite strongly references the way we consume media nowadays. In case it's not entirely clear it's supposed to look like an infinite scroll from facebook or other similar plataform.
Bear in mind that those are just wild ideas and probably won't get done exactly like that, feel free to take anything worth from it if you want to go in another direction. I'd love for you to share your own ideas and if you're afraid you don't have the required skills to execute them I'm sure that if they're doable (probably unlike my first one) and interesting enough someone will pick it up to execute. |

I had the idea of a white board, filled with drawings of different ideas, with the logo in the middle, and it pans around to the different ideas before zooming out to show the whole white board.
This is probably going to be done with a big computer drawing. Some people are apparently able and willing to work on this

Yay ideas! Here's a collection of the ones I've dumped into Discord so far. Hopefully I'll get to play with one or two soon, but if anyone else wants to roll with them please do!
1-
bunch of lightbulbs growing in brightness til they white out the screen; logo appears. [mehhhh]
2-
[used for first episode, but could be taken in more directions/versions:]
Ideas from you tube/reddit comments to old IC vids etc. appear until they overlap and grow to fill/overwhelm the screen? then logo appears.
think it would be cool if it the word "idea: were always centered and slowly zoomed into. then after the screen is filled out, everything but "idea" on disappears leaving a solid black (or white) background. then "project" (or whatever) appears under to form the logo
could be done with typography, or just a more intense version of overly honest trailer-style comment screenshot piles
3-
I expect this description is lacking, but. Could have a growing network of increasingly numerous and connecting ideas. so we represent a network as a bunch of circles/nodes with connecting lines--like a crime-solving pinboard with all the threads connecting different elements. we could do that but with the 'nodes' being thougts, or something. eventually there are so many nodes/thoughts that they pile on top of each other but we still have lines whizzing back and forth and connecting them all, until the lines color fills out the screen and the idea project logo pops up
could also make the nodes and their lines form the shape of a brain or a light bulb or something if wanted. would take longer to make tho. And could be upgraded to the nodes being cropped vids of people/hosts saying those ideas, but that would be a big production to film enough for it to work (and more of an editing nightmare
4 -
Inspired byRomajiMiltonAmulo; bunch of different hand drawn ideas that make up the idea project logo; a la those picture mosaics that make up a larger picture. but like. with handwriting or typography. So you start zoomed way in to a couple of them (maybe even zoomed all the way into the word 'idea' in one of them, and then zoom out to increasingly reveal the idea project logo that they all form.
Re: Vinico; I like these!
1 is super simple to film and would look cool; classicial philosophy names intersperces with novels, mange, etc. Getting all the relevant books, tho... I've got a lot of books, but still. Too bad we can't all magically share books, that would make for an excellent bookshelf to film.
I like what #2 is trying to convey too, but I'm still a little unclear on the imagery. Could you explain a little more in-depth?
and for 3, is it like; new articles mixed with philosophy-y posts and pop culture? Might look cool if the scrolling gets faster and faster as well
[sorry for crud formatting, I haven't used forums in a whiiiiile]

Might look cool if the scrolling gets faster and faster as well Glad that you liked it! I thought the first one would be harder to do because I was thinking more of animation than actually filming it, which already makes me happy to have shared  Yeah, #2 is shitty because while I was drawing it I had the idea for #3 and kind of dropped it hahah Forget that image, I'll try to describe it from the start. It's supposed to start with a photo of mike's table or something similar in fullscreen, then the image flicks mike's table shows a similar shot of one of our tables before flicking again faster and faster. It's supposed to imply that what was once one set, one person, now is legion made by us. Now that I think about it another way to do this might be to replace the first image by a mosaic of our own desks or something. #3 I'm not entirely sure if anything really needs to be there, could just be the first image and then the scroll blurs through for a time before reaching our logo/some other thing symbolizing us. But yeah, it's also a place we can show our influences. |
