Roger Dean happens to be one of my favorite living artist/designers;
http://www.rogerdean.com/
Although he's best known for his album art of the 1970 s, he's also a gifted "environmentalist"...he builds spaces for humans.

I like his work because of the organic feel; quite relaxing! But perhaps he's best known for his "Yes" logo; the rock group's signature is still one of the world's most recogizable logos--right up there with Coca-Cola.

Let's see if we can't translate the logo into this Millenium, digitally. Because this is Application Convergence forum, use any application you like; 2D, 3D, whatever.

Download the Illustrator file if you like for a scalable stencil. And by all means, do your submission in Illustrator, if that's your thing.

Animated GIFs are fair media, too!

Who knows? I might just email him and invite him over here!

My Best,

You betcha, Crow! Very "meditative" stuff.

Here's an entry I call GIF Yes.

My Best,

Gare

[size=9px]...and yes, it was a ***** to do! I created an alphabet, saved it as a truetype font, then used Xara 3D to do the animation.[/size]

Just the first idea that crossed my mind, I will ponder some more [confused]

Done with Shinycore's PathFinder Pro and a few layer styles.

Lee

Damn, Gary. That's some mighty fine animation you got there son. Two thumbs up, buddy. [righton] [righton]

Raven

[righton] :} :} :} All of these are such fun!

Gare, that's such a unique animation too, great how the letters revolve and look so smooth in motion doing so with the interlocked connection...it looks amazing! 8D

Here's two from Xara3D 6, Gare. The jpeg I can upload but the GIF is just too big so I'll provide a link. Instead of making a font of the different paths in the original, I saved each filled path as a EMF format out of Illustrator and imported them into X3D6.

So here's that GIF (Warning!...500K)

I love eye candy!
