Hpets Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I cannot stress enough how much I dislike the half-shaded trangle. It signifies that a part of the person is missing, and it would be best not to denote the group with such a message. I have to agree, here. There really is suggestion of being only partially fulled in that image. Personally, a grey triangle is still my preference. After all, with all the colours that are associated with homosexuality (and with sexuality in general), it seems fitting to emphasize that just as there are various hues of sexual interest, there are also various shades.

SomeoneElse Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thanx! :D Grey triangle all the way. But you would think that the triangle for A-sexuality would point up (like the letter A) and not down. Link to post Share on other sites

But you would think that the triangle for A-sexuality would point up (like the letter A) and not down. Yeah! That's the EXACT same thing I thought! And I like the idea of an Upward pointing triangle better than a Downward pointing one anyway. It'd be FAR better for making a logo for ourselves. :-D Link to post Share on other sites

fern Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 *rumbles around in pocket* *tosses in 2 cents* I like the triangle we have on the AVEN bar now. Especially because it has shadings of grey. As a symbol I don't think it needs words added to it. If used for visibility, then the website address could just go somewhere near it. If it were on a t-shirt or something for example. Link to post Share on other sites

Well how 'bout this? mmm. Well, it's a bit too much like the Jewish star, or the like Masonic Lodge Symbol that they have down here where I live , or whatever. ... I was thinking something where you could combine the triangle and letter together in one. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 My thoughts entirely. Just try an upward facing grey triangle and see how it looks on a lighter grey field. Actually, also put a black line that strikes through the center of the triangle horizontally. (like the letter A), but have it stick out of the triangle on both sides.

Gimme a Min. <:-D Link to post Share on other sites
violeteyedsoul Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Here I was thinking something more like this. (MAN! it took FOREVER for me to make these! LOL! I've gotta learn Fireworks! LOL!) Of course the colors could be changed, and whatnot. But this is what I mainly had in mind. :-) Although, the top one looks a bit tot much like some other symbol I've seen. Can't put my finger on which one. <a></a> OR <a></a> Link to post Share on other sites

Hpets Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think I prefer the first image over the second, because the second one pretty much just looks like the letter A. Question, though: what happened to the idea of having the horizontal line in the middle of the triangle extend out of the triangle? Link to post Share on other sites
violeteyedsoul Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 No, not for me....you can see them? Yeah I could. Let me try and past another link. By the way can you see the little Star Trek poster in my Sig.? Link to post Share on other sites

phusion Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Personally, I feel the whole triangle idea should be thrown out, and something unique drawn up. The triangle (both the word and shape) to me illustrates the symbol for homosexuality. Also, the use of lavender is far too close to pink. Link to post Share on other sites
Sirach Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Personally, I feel the whole triangle idea should be thrown out, and something unique drawn up. The triangle (both the word and shape) to me illustrates the symbol for homosexuality. Also, the use of lavender is far too close to pink. How about magenta, or indigo (my favourite colour!)? But yeah, the triangle is a little... unoriginal. But do we actually NEED a symbol? Perhaps a cute little amoeba critter could suffice! n__n Kevyn. Link to post Share on other sites
Apeiron Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 THIS is my objection: the downward pointing triangle is an ancient symbol of femininity, being a representation of female genitalia. it was the word "woman" in ancestral idiographic languages. the star of david / jewish juxtaposes the male symbol (triangle) and female symbol (inverted triangle) and in alchemy would be an androgynous symbol just as the symbol of mercury. i think a rhombus would be better. with "A" in the top and "V" on the bottom, or something like that. the triangle with an "A" inside is a good idea too.

Zerick Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The triangle also reminds me of a yield sign on a bus. Link to post Share on other sites
John Mira Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I, too, have a strong dislike for the triangle and the lavender/purple color due to it's similarity to homosexuality. Not that there's anything wrong with homosexuality. It just feels like we have such a hard time establishing an identity that being sporting a color & symbol virtually identical to something else doesn't help much. If that makes sense. And actually, Sirach, I like the notion of a little amoeba symbol quite a bit, in a whimsical kind of way. Link to post Share on other sites
