This is a design for a logo my aunt asked me for her company/job/Ireallydon'tknow. But hopefuly it will be rejected and I can use it as an ID for Deviant Art xD xD

Anyway, my aunt told me that the theme was evolution, I tried diferent designs: birds, humans, lizards... birds/humans/lizards. But, at the end I followed an old idea I had when I was little: Ammonites (and their modern descendants, the nautilius) represent for me the pass of time. Their spiral and gorgeous designs not only show age, but functionality, a design that had to envolve to reach that state. No, it's not perfect (nothing is perfect) but at least it has worked for the last 260 millions years! xD So, Nautilius = symbol of evolution. And by the way, they are extremely beautiful.

I'm sorry if what I wrote is nonsense, I'm still not confident when writing in english.

This is just stunning. I do some graphic art for pay and would like to make a suggestion. Resize the name smaller so that it kind of lies "inside" the white space instead of extending into the shell. The shell is very gorgeous and also "busy", so you dont really want to add more lines to that area. I love the lettering style and i love the grey tones you picked. :)

Cthuhlu es una entidad divina demonic creada por el HP Lovecraft del writter. Cthuhlu se ha convertido en un car�cter popular en un cierto plazo, cant� en canciones e incluso se adoraba por los idiotas locos =) esperanza de I que este traductor funciona correctamente. ;)

Reminds me of Natalie Portman, and as well Venus De Milo. She's beautiful.

BlitzCloud (edited May 12, 2006)

is it a real woman? I mean...an actress? If it is... i think i know who she was intended to be. (if not, nvm my stupidity)

EDIT: shit, sweetcell said it before... I see a (bit) distorted Natalie Portman... she seurely has the eyes, the expression. Its good! :D

HunterKiller_ (May 12, 2006)

I love the painterly strokes on her cheek. =]

patienceisoverrated (May 12, 2006)

It was loosely ref'd, mostly for the bits I have trouble with, but it was just some random model chick. Any resemblance to Natalie Portman was totally unintentional. :)

Despite all the destruction nature finds a way. This is wonderful. One critique and it's small, the roots of the flower are a little harsh and stick out, but overall I wouldn't mind this hanging on my wall.

fleeting_memory (May 12, 2006)

no there is never hope that flower will shrivle and die from lack of water. Haha sorry just being weird I actually really like the feel of this one-good color choices :)

Kraisa (May 12, 2006)

Thanks for all the comments there.
There's actually this big explanation in my head for this pic involving nuclear holocaust and stuff...and this actually being an image from Mars...contest has me thinkin' all sci-fi-y and creative.

I chose the color for the flower because blue is complimentary to orange! That and I really like blue. :)

Sweetcell I see what you mean ... should have softened the edges a little more...

Sweetcell (May 12, 2006)

I want it as a poster kraisa.

You know what, this would make a great book cover too.
