Visual Branding Core using Purple Spitting Phoenix

There is visual chaos.
Occupy is best when it uses asset based management & emergent design principles... Basically taking what you have and improvising a fun solution.
So let's occupy this.
looks like best plan of action is to spin designs off of the purple & orange one crafted by Ryan Griffin?
Idea would be to 'riff' off of his design with use of similar colors, font & design elements when possible.
Would not be a hard rule but would give a frame work for many designs to be produced that would all work together.
Simply using the same font would help alot.
Colors are: #5F098E #ED604E #EDB82C #E31904 #8223B5
Think this might work?

Tricia, couldn't the background of the "brand" be your picture of the dripping water which says "bring water".

Keep the ideas coming until we say, "Eureka! We found it!" :D

i love the idea of simple one like Sandy and think even just California with a star (or whatever marker) for Sacrament.
Occupy
National
Gathering.

Or how about the seal with the crowned woman changed into a Native American woman caretaking the land and water, and superimposed on your dripping water, possibly dripping out of an hour glass. Could the phoenix also be worked in?

I think we need to make a basic decision first: simple one-color logo or complex “statement” design? Maybe we need both, and should make a separate page for each?

The offer was for an "OWS Single Color Logo/Patch/Screen/Meme Graphic for #NatGat."
These are symbols we've identified -- for inspiration for the Occupy Design collective to get ideas:
Phoenix
Sunrise
Fist
Water

So the easiest in one color is the fist—but it had better be green! (actually, although that was flippant regarding “whose skin color?”, I like the symbolism of green, as nature, and strength, as fist—thoughts?)

single color, but the material is a color too. We could have purple canvas and one of our other colors (orange, yellow, pink) just Occupy National Gathering - Sacramento or NatGat3 and simple bird outline/silhouette

oops - lol - not suggesting the stray thread as the bird.
Sally G Sun 18 May 2014 4:09AM
but it has a birdlike look. . . . !

That's great! We can use that color and stencil on whatever we want to Occupy.

I already used it in a tweet

Was that letter approved? I did not see that, it was not discussed on the call, why are we Tweeting it out? O.K., I saw a block, but checked it out and it is not an absolute block. However, a Tweet like this coming from the official account is a problem for me—especially as the advice was not to release it to the media until after the election.

We did agree to write the letter. and this is to our people in Occupy, not the press. People want to know that their rights are going to be respected or they will stay away.

Seals are great, but I was thinking single-color logo.
Love the motto!
