Description
Our studio members each get a symbol, specially made for them and their personality. Each symbol can only be used for a single person... therefore they will not be used in merchandising.These are the first three, and therefore the most important. Any subsequent ones will be one-time-use symbols, unable to be passed down. at the death of an employee (death, in our definition also means the termination of employment) the symbol will be locked away, retired.
These symbols will be used to designate who created the stories, who's writing, who's drawing, etc, etc... They will also be made into medallions eventually... hopefully out of gemstones or silver... There will be one made for each symbol and then the molds will be broken.
As to the designs... it was almost a spiritual experience. I began creating with no original thought... in fact, I created The Beast when I tried to create The Enigma... and I created The Enigma when I was trying to create The Indestructible...
They flowed from some strange part of my mind in a matter of minutes (which is, in itself, interesting, because they are all fully 3D objects created in Cinema 4D.)
These just feel right to me.
(William, the owner of The Indestructible, wanted angelic symbols at first... but I just didn't feel right about putting them in... they didn't feel honest to me, I can't explain it. so... sorry william. if you want another one done, you're going to have to give me a design beforehand.)
-edit-
Typos and various literature problems alleviated... somewhat.

They are appealing but symmetrical. It's not necessarily a vertical or horizontal symmetry, but more of a balanced repetition of elements in each one. Also, they all fit neatly within their circles. They could be more adventurous.

I originally wanted them to be less balanced and symmetrical but that was a little antithetical to their purpose.
They are all meant to represent bound spirits that appear in the stories and the balanced repetition is my way of designing a physical chamber that could house a powerful spirit, sending it's energies back on itself, in effect, using it's own power to keep it chained. And the circle was the unbroken wall.
They are all based on pagan and occult symbology, but not so heavily so they actually have an origins. They are based on the theories of paganism and neopaganism (wicca and other such religions.)
Plus, I wanted them to be able to be translated directly to other media, like jewelry and video, without having to be heavily redesigned. Making them balanced and contained made it easier to do things later down the road.
I will, however, make an unbound version for each symbol... which is an idea you just gave me... so thank you, lol
