"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[Uncle Ted's Cabin]

I wonder if having Atlas holding up the world would work as an alternative version of the logo.

Some of the meaning is lost in my opinion. I think Sisyphus fits better because freedom on the Internet has rolled down the proverbial hill and needs to be pushed back up. Atlas implies maintaining the status quo.

maybe the rock could look like the WWW symbol?

Looks good so far. Will there be a Latin motto of some sort? 'nihil obscurum' or something, idk. American societies love their Latin phrases

Of their own accord. Just gank it from the army rangers =D

Sisyphus definitely captures the "uphill battle" of fighting for internet freedom way better. For Atlas, I suppose the way I was looking at it is he's holding up the freedom on the internet that's still left and is fighting to keep it up. I also think Atlas came to mind because from the Sisyphus visual Josh posted, I saw a potential vertical variant of that logo with Atlas holding up the world/internet.

I like this a lot! Good use of smallcaps. So you are still wanting more of a round “insignia”-type logo as well? A good designer could surely figure out something cool with the rock and Sisyphus’s back creating a border around the text.

Here's a few ideas:
semper libertas | always freedom
semper vigilo/vigilans | always vigilant
stamus contra malum | we stand against evil

round “insignia”-type logo as well

No, what I want is a version of this that's square and then rectangular like the KF logo and like that mockup.

In my head, there's a version that's animated as well (kind of like a flip book) so I can use it for the KiwiFlare page when I rebrand it.

 

[Telvanni]

This is really close to how I imagine it. There's one or two other fonts I want to find, but this is good.

The logo is not exactly what i want. I specifically want it kind of hollowed out, more sketch/border. I also need to work on the spacing.

I was going to suggest @Potentially Criminal as a person of unusual size who has to show up in court and look professional.

Also, probably don't be like me and wear black hiking boots everywhere.

A cheaper suit that gets taken in will still look ok.

The issue is you're still a fat guy in a suit.

Spoiler: Logo Critique

That is a really friendly looking logo, so far. Two logos you’ve used that have really caught my eye are the following:

I) From the backside of the silver coin, the “Mind Your Business” logo is how I think of this one:

The symbolism is on point for the site. Corn wreathing a lovely & realistic rendering of a kiwi bird. Site logo included between the text centers a focal point, very easy on the eyes, not to mention cool. This is my favorite logo so far, only wish I had some merch with this on it. (One day I’ll get my hands on a coin!)

II) From around late Spring of this year. Used on official Rumble Kiwi Farms account, (which hosts special footage, distinct from the MATI live channel.) This one I think of as the official “Custodian of Records” logo:


It follows in the same vein as the Mind Your Business logo, which I’m very pleased with. Contains main site logo in a similar position & has a kiwi bird depicted in a traditional heraldic fashion. Absolutely stunning! Love the nod to the file folder in the kiwi’s fore-claw, which is appropriate for this logos purpose of archives & records.

There have been a few other pieces of art that are used for logos & merch that I really like as well, one in particular, the “Archive Everything” patch:

Cute, no nonsense, & good advice. Take to heart. Excellent.

---

All of the above are memorable & eye catching. Your new logo idea is a move in a good direction for its particular purpose. It looks inviting, while still important. Being that the cause, The United States Internet Preservation Society, is important & if successful will come across as something others want to join. It serves its purpose well for a logo. I think looking into Art Deco & even a bit of Art Nouveau fonts might help find the look you’ve envisioned if you haven’t already. Really like this new logo, especially considering it’s general purpose.

I honestly have done a very bad job keeping track of my artists over the years. I forgot who did the coin design and the original t-shirt like the slobbervoid shirt. It doesn't help that everyone's kind of cloak and dagger replying to my emails.

More specifically, Bateman wore pinstripe Valentino suits, like this.

Here's how he dressed at work most of the time:

Fancy, not flashy.

If you're going to wear a suit then you better rock a little kiwi pin.

A “Seeking Artists” thread might help find a few of the artists. I’ve made some posts seeking artists in various sub forums & threads dedicated to art like multimedia, meme, & edits, & had very good luck finding the maker of a meme or art piece. Maybe in the Arts & Lit board, or General board? I grabbed the copies in my post above from the OG merch threads, & the Juju thread for Custodian of Records logo, IIRC. People all remember rather random things, & have often been really helpful in properly crediting (or even just naming) artists.

Depends where you live. Most of the BMW drivers here are street shitters. Apparently tbey buy them with school loans to appear wealthy and important.

They still shit on the street though.

it's super frustrating because i have precisely what i want but I don't know how to describe it.

I want a classic American style sketchy outline for Sisyphus. In the long version of the logo, the boulder is probably cut away so that it fits.

View attachment 6483602

With the fonts, there's a specific font I want for the United States part. It's small, elegant, and I think found in classic American iconography -- but it's lost on me what I'm even talking about. I can just see it in my head as clear as day though. It's a thick, wide display font, but it usually writes united states in this very small, casual, lower case lettering.

I've been slowly catching up and collecting art samples in case they come in handy:

All it needs is a transgender man kicking the rock back down the hill.

Bing had a similar idea it seems:
