The InfoGalactic logo has an all-seeing "I".

Also, an eye.

Plus a Saturn.... A Christmas Saturn?

Ha. I never gave it any thought, other than it's adequate but not a great logo. While it's interesting it's hardly proof of anything.

This is an incomplete archival of my old website: https://web.archive.org/web/20100208102220/http://wickedsunshine.com/

I designed everything myself. My logo was an iris of an eye. Because I did graphics of all sorts. Illustrations, paintings, graphic design, art directing, and mostly animating TV commercials, and other stuff. It was easier to show the eye than have a hand trying to do all of those things. If I was a musician or DJ I might have used an ear for a logo. Or something like this: https://infogalactic.com/info/File:Pixel_DJ_Soft_Skull_%26_Headphones_-_Clear_BG;_800%25_Pixel;_400x400.png I was never into skulls or grim shit before but in 2008 I was at a Soundwave weekend beach camp rave in Tofino, north of Victoria BC. They had a shitty logo with a Jolly Roger with headphones and I figured I'd make a few versions and give it to them to replace their ugly art ( http://www.saunasessions.ca/v2/node/855 https://talltreesbigdreams.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/regagade-full-swing.jpg ). I knew about Skull And Bone back then but I also knew about Jack Sparrow, P2P Pirates, and a lot of other stuff. Here's the best part... I never got around to sharing my designs with them (as my life was falling apart back then).

I'm not Illumaniti no matter what anyone says, but I'm willing to sell out and join for a modest fee.

I haven't checked in with my old store since about then, 2008. I don't know if they owe me or I owe them, but at least soem of the images are still there.

My Burning Man nickname was Sunshine, and I was well wicked (like the Beastie Boys, not like Bohemian Grove). More precisely I was a wicked sunshine disinfectant against corruption, as the Wage Peace section of my old site attests: https://web.archive.org/web/20090408165903/http://www.wickedsunshine.com:80/WagePeace/

" Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman. " ~ https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis

For Xmas, a Santa design: https://www.cafepress.com/wickedsunshine/432752

A bittersweet trip down memory lane, lined with gutters of junk.

The sights on memory lane always looks better in the rear view mirror.

BTW: I like the budda design. Contortionist Santa is funny too. :-)

He had to contort into a heart shape.

Twisted love. With a giant Santa dong.

So I just learned on the propaganda "History" Channel show The Curse Of Oak Island S06E06 that the pirate flag with the Jolly Roger skull and crossbones is actually representative of the Templar Knight Order's patron saint, John The Baptist, who was beheaded according to legend and scripture. When the Templars we forced to disband, many disgruntled then became pirates - same occupation, different title. So it was originally a Templar symbol before it was pirate symbol, or a Yale "Skull & Bones" symbol. Not really a surprise. The Nazi SS used it. Now some military units and/or mercenaries have it, or variations of it, on patches.

I actually like that show despite myself. And I know the "History" Channel can be trusted as far as you can throw it. Find me a way to get a good grip on it and I'll try to throw it in the trash can (except that show, it's good timesuck/background noise).
