Back to the drawing board

Presbymergent’s still looking for logos.
Zachary Wilson imagined an upside down PCUSA seal, pouring out. I kept thinking about the image, so I made a flipbook here. And, of course, I was inspired by John Austin’s great tune, “Heaven’s on the Inside.”
You might have to do it twice, for some reason the drawings aren’t showing up the first time.
What do you think? Anybody want to make a logo out of it? If you do, you’ll have full bragging rights, plus party prizes. If anything comes out of it, I can smooth out the animation…. Any other ideas? The logo stew is simmering…
Carol that’s really neat! I totally dig it! : )
Thanks, Sara! It’s amazing what a person can accomplish when procrastinating on taxes…
I love the flip book Carol. It must be used at the Church Unbound conference. I reminds me of the “Hello my name is Simon” thing from my youth for Pinwheel.
I love Simon! One of the greatest things about having a kid is that you get to read all that stuff again.
The kids in my last church used to make flip books on the attendance record pads during the sermon. I loved picking them up and seeing what they came up with each week.
We’re moving on to claymation next…
That’s cool! How do you make a flip book? I want one.
Thanks, Dannah. Your design inspired me.
Flipbook Recipe:
Take a stack of thin white paper.
Draw a design on the last piece.
Put a piece of paper over the last piece, and trace that design, with some variation.
Repeat.
Then I scanned the paper, and used garage band to put it on a podcast.
I see. I thought you must have had to draw it in illustrator or do something fancy. It’s a real flipbook!!
No. Nothing fancy. I’m old school.
I’m impressed — and from a much older school than any of you! (Way back in the last century.) I especially liked the Spirit “pouring out” into something new. How do you capture that movement on a T-shirt?
That’s a good question… I was hoping a real artist would run with it. But, I’ve got until May 2, maybe I’ll keep trying….
