Please to meet you, I'm @JennyTheolin
It's 2012, and as a part of the new year, I decided to refresh my online persona. Out with GraphicDrip, and in with... well, me! Below you will find a little insight into where the new logo has come from.
I have gone back in time and created a little mark based on my roots; Viking Rune Stones and my heritage, the Sami People.
Rune Stones
The tradition of the Rune Stone began in the 4th century, and it lasted into the 12th century, but most of the runestones date from the late Viking Age. Also, they were usually brightly colored when erected, though this is no longer evident as the color has worn off.
The Sami People
Also spelled Sámi or Saami, the Sami people, are the Arctic indigenous people inhabiting Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Kola Peninsula of Russia, and the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. The Sámi are Europe's northernmost and the Nordic countries' only officially indigenous people. Just recently, we have established that these are my direct roots. (Photograph by Erika Larsen.)
The Result:
The two 'droplets' symbolise the two parts of what I do (Designer / Curator) and are/will be used to create various icons – even my aviator specs!
