Which prototype will become the BCC logo? (Hybrid Revison)
April 22, 2009
With the project coming to a close, I’ve been trying to decide which of these design prototypes I will declare my disaster’s “official” logo…as if confined to the age of print, and cost of publication were an issue.
The design below is a product of my being torn between several of prototypes, wanting to include elements from each. Then came the realization: the image is indefinit(iv)e …
The beauty (or sublimity?) of electracy, as Professor Ulmer reminded me in an email response, is that we–the “author” of the image–don’t necessarily need to nominate a single, official logo…the others of the internet will nominate on our behalf; all of our images “circulate without us”:
“The intention is that the logo will work as an attractor and begin to circulate without us, just as did writing, as Plato complained in Phaedrus (the words went about repeating themselves endlessly like children without the parent).”–Gregory Ulmer
