An alternate SolSeed Emblem concept proposed by Ben.
Ideas: Starting from the image of sunrise as viewed from space, I created a symbolic version of Terra with an S marking out a yin-yang of technology (city lights) and nature (clouds), trying to show them as intertwined and equal. Both will be necessary to fulfilling TheDestiny, which is represented by extending the S into a "sprouting seed" with the original spaceship shape from Brandon's emblem at the tip, a bit like a flower bud. (Note: I chose not to include the extra flower petals suggested by Julie because they would detract from the spaceship serving as a lowercase L. I did include petals in the simpler version of the image.)
This is way cool Ben! --Brandon
Very cool! And, I also really like the simplified version. Even the least artistic among us could draw that one ourselves. TedErnst
