New Logo

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe the logo could be similar to your 'one piece is out of place' idea, but the other cubelets are darker shades of those colours?

Treating yellow as the top side and red as the right side:

Move the right side counterclockwise, the bottom side counterclockwise, the right side clockwise, the bottom side clockwise, the right side counterclockwise, the bottom side counterclockwise and the right side clockwise.

Then the cube will be solved.

WHO SAID THAT THE CUBE NEEDS TO BE SOLVED????
... or cured or fixed or anything else... I like the cube the way it is!

Diversity is the name of the game!

Haha LOL. Well solving cubes is one of the more interesting things to do with them I suppose.

Maybe you could choose colours that would be an impossible Rubik's Cube position to represent the nature of AS that means it ISN'T just a case of solving a puzzle.

This is exactly the point!

This is to symbolize the fact that even if something CAN be solved it might NOT NEED to be SOLVED!

And that the people out there who feel the urge to fix and cure, and thus also solve everything that seems to be out of place, out of synchronicity or out of tune with the rest, these people should have their brains solved instead, because ....

DIVERSITY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!

I agree but hardly think that a Rubik's cube is a microcosmic representation of life in that respect. That is to say that people don't solve cubes to conform to some sort of eugenic norm.


That aside, my comment wasn't intended to be a criticism of the logo which I think looks best as it is; it wouldn't work as well aesthetically or representationally in a solved state, of course. I was just playing around because I hadn't played with a Rubik's cube in ages and I had forgotten most of the algorithms I knew but that one was fairly easy to work out.

Yeah no kidding, I could have worked that one out too!

After I did this logo, I have been 'craving' for a Rubic's cube again. I think I'll go buy one. I've missed it ...

Star

LOL. I was just being cautious; I wasn't sure if I had annoyed you but now I feel confident that I didn't.



I think I still have one knocking around somewhere; if nothing else, they make nice desk ornaments.

No you didn't... I was not sure if you got the point and mesage of the logo or were you only concerned about solving the cube... hehehehe

I think we can both rest reassured now

Star

Great, glad you two sorted that out then.

Now, as for my comment...

That is what I meant. Though just the stars part, y'know as in 'It's space, it's black with twinkly bits'

Why a darker shade? A darker shade has different associations that I do not want to involve in this simple and clear message.

For example the contrast of darker/lighter can also be associated with evil (dark) and good (light). I mean each color and shade of color brings forth certain reactions which I don't feel are necessary here.

But thanks for the idea...

I ran across this image while searching through Google like I often do. The thing to notice is that the Starfleet symbol could be interpreted as an 'A' if it were to be revised somewhat.

Leonard Nimoy felt that the Vulcans represented the Jewish people. Well, in light of recent discoveries (as of 1994), with the diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome being more known to the public, I personally feel that more than anything Vulcans represent high-functioning autism. Maybe we could write a report about this someday?

Star Trek and AS go hand-in-hand.

I agree that Aspies are a generation that is capable of achievements similar to those that today are still depicted in Science Fiction either movies or books or or comic books. Somewhere in the subconscious mind of the human kind the vision of a future generation, the next evolutionary step if you wish, has been imprinted in the minds of our ancestors and subsequently in the minds of our parents and of us.

When we see Star Trek we are in a way attracted to this notion of Star exploration as something from our memory, something of our past. Even in Greek philosophy exist the notion that what we see, a table lets say, we call it as such because somewhere in our minds exists the memory of that table.

What if Star Trek, X-men, the Fifth Element and such are not such memories, that were identified when seen. Inside us we know who we are but it is so big and complex that we have no words to describe it.

They tells that autism inhibits us from expressing our ouw emotions and thoughts. BUT... they never understood that we can't because their NT language does not have the words we need, the words we must use to exactly explain and describe what we see, hear, feel, imagine, know, accumulate... we fall short.

We come across as incompetent when it is the limited language we are forced to use is what inhibits us. We speak better with pictures, with visual imput because a picture is a 1000 words, and that is the amount we need to communicate.

We can process the amount of infiormation but can not bare the noise when these words are being spoken. So visual imput with a limited amount of sound, works the best. Watching TV, the intenet, all that are forms of information input we learn and communicate best.

When you see StarTrek doen't you notice that most of the info they use comes in visual form: the big screen on the deck of the Starship, is a monitor, a huge TV or computer enhanced digital media, that projects the information to the Captain and officers.

They use visual input information process. That is what we also do... Coinsidence?

I am sorry to see that many fellow Aspies, have submited to what they had been brainwashed with, disability and illness. Yes, there is a great deal of pain we endure, many the problems we face in living with society. My body carries the scars. Emotional and physical, so I know, too, what it means to live with this syndrome. But I also know my strengths and even if they are limited, they are very focused and strong. I know I can do things that many others can not, but I don't seem to be able to achieve as easily as they do. For me it's so much more work.

I am not afraid of work. I am more afraid to be thought as disabled. So I work hard to show them what an Aspie can achieve if they get stubborn and strong and have an ideal, a passion, an obsession.

I had weird obsessions like Astrology, and Blindness/Deafblindness, and writing. Not what many have in computers and programming. I was intersted in the more human kind aspect. I worked weird jobs, to keep my hobbies going. Now that they have matured, I have knowledge that others can use. But I didn't have the education and paper to back up my knowledge.

A disadvantage many Aspies share. We know as much as any professor but we don't have the PhD next to our name. We had done the same amount of work learnng all we know, the same determination, yet no one acknowledges our work or our knowledge. In some situations this is luckily surpassed and many Aspies are happily employed and enjoy good salaries. But most feel stuck. A head full of knowledge and no practical use of it. What a waste of ideas, of inventions, of future technology...

Maybe someone will wake one day, someone like you, and say: You know what I know all this s**t why don't I do something with it. But what? Maybe teach it? Maybe give a lecture? A demonstration? A course? A club of other intellectuals with the same hobby? same obsession? Who will pay for that?

When you arrive to this last question and you are willing to put your knowledge into use, send me a PM. I am serious. Very serious. I am looking for Aspies who want to educate others about they hobby, interest of obsession. In any setting they want: book, lecture, video, on the air, on a TV show, anyway you can imagine just let me know in a PM and your wish may come true...
