Logo A Go Go
While on my daily bran muffin mission yesterday (it was bleak and that's all I have to say about that), I got a call that lifted my spirits way up into the sky - far from the land that ate all the bran. Seems that my favorite hirsute rock-n-roll star Aaron Lazar has come up with the beeeeesssstttttt logo idea to hit the idea of logos since a certain gay network was launched.
With no prompting WHATSOEVER from me, the laissez faire lassy, he said, "Have you ever heard of Albertus Seba?"
Have I heard of Albertus Seba! I named my first kid Albertus Seba. Then I sold him, but still! The name was a major marketing point. How else do you think I afford this luxurious lifestyle? The Fetus Albertus, that's how!
Anyway, for the underinitiated, Seba the elder was a Dutch botanical illustrator who published these craziiilllly detailed collections of plants, beasts and other cellular-based effluvia that makes me a little squirmy when I'm in the ocean.
Exhibit A(H MY GOD!)
He's also the artist behind my totally heterosexual squid screen saver, attributes of which Marie has OFT compared to a naked woman's buubbies:
Logo, indeed, Marie. Logo indeed.
So! To the punto: Aaron is using Seba as the inspiration for the TSC logo and font! I feel like every itch is being scratched with this one, what an awesome idea - what an AWESOME IDEA! (Glee mine.)
Here's a video of he, my new favorite person, walking slowly but assuredly towards this design:
But Aaron! You do have an idea! And if you see above, I have dubbed it "Awesome." This is praise of the highest. Here's a rag for all that blood.
And here's an opportunity to spread some squid love next time you're hosting a soirrrrr:
Yay Aaron! Yay Seba!
Yay Sebum! (I'm an EOE.)
