I can't make sense of this thread because I don't see most of the images. Would anyone able please repost them?

Unlike corporate logos, the measure of a social movement symbol is not whether it looks good but whether others can make it look good, customize it, and make it fit specific needs. The acid test is whether it is still recognizable when drawn badly, hastily, and from memory alone.



Again unlike corporate logos, no board of directors ever approves a social movement symbol. Community members simply use it or not, as they please. Artists who employ the symbol rarely refer to the original, which may indeed be lost. In this context it seems a bit silly to release this work under the

I think the puzzle piece logo (they say "help find the missing pieces") refers to having all the pieces of a puzzle. With all the pieces you can see the full picture - I think it refers to having a full understanding of autism.

I don't think that anyone recognises the pieces of the puzzle them, Breeze. They either think the ribbon as a reference to the war in Iraq {here in the U.S.}, or they think that the rainbow colours have to do with the gay rights movement.

What makes the situation worse is when the word AUTISM is placed inside or beneath the ribbon as if symbolism should need explaining. Or, perhaps on some lonesome knoll in Iraq there is some autistic soldier, I dunno.

  Ok, here's something that goes off on another tangent altogether:

    

  I was thinking of the graphic from Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, so I found a copy and did a little futzing around with it.

  I like the idea because it shows the spectrum without necessarily being the rainbow, and that it takes a unified whole (white light) and separates it into its components (colors), showing that *everything* is included in the whole.

We'd need our own, but I like the idea of a prism being used to represent the spectrum.  The infinity symbol seems a bit superfluous to that.  Of course, I don't discourage anyone from using the infinity sign- it works well enough on it's own, and definitely serves the purpose Xiong mentions.

"All in all, it's just another brick in the wall"

I know!

The A-spies logo!

I actually like the infinity symbol.

How about an "outside the Box" theme...
Bunch of people standing on a box with the rainbow puzzle motif..

Cool logo.  Seems like a good t-shirt ...
Someone on here has the line " Locked on target"
(I say ...someone has to be...)

Autistics are focused on a spectrum of targets.  Locked on the spectrum, on target.

A diversity of targets. It's a good thing.

(just what came into my head after seeing the logo)

Is that a plank on top, or another brick in the wall?

the colors are amazing.

I like the idea that whatver logo there is needs to be able to be reproduced by anyone - some will do it with great flair - those who can, others simply.

(I love the infinity symbol- sideways, it is so apt. - it drew me to this site)
