Next, opened up figma and started assembling the ideas together.
I tried a type-heavy approach first, then tried putting mountain visuals inside the text, tried a few different layouts... nothing was clicking. The text component was there but the tshirt had no soul to it.
😭😩 and then lower back pain struck so I got up, and took a break.
Walked around bitspace, ate snacks and watched a #Frieren episode where they try to catch the magical bird 'Stille.'
Somehow during that episode an insight hit... that animals and creatures are often used to represent ideas and concepts, and to draw parallels.
You can see it in bitcoin too...
Ants & Honey badger on technical books. Pangolin for
Crab for Rust Lobster for
These aren't just cute logos, the creature represents the nature of the work too.
I guess the summit could use one too!
After some digging, I found Yak, Ibex, and Raven to be amazing fits for the summit.
I chose the Himalayan Ibex.
It moves across terrain where most creatures can't go. Steady, patient, keeps on climbing. Small groups on difficult ground, far from the noise.
That's who bitcoin builders are too.
Back to figma now, I have discovered a better direction for the back of the tshirt!
