Re: Logo for Attic?
I played a little bit with AI to generate a logo.
I tried based on the @ tick idea, but could not get anything reasonable
I finally went to having an autumnal oak leaf, with a coweb to "Attic" word:
https://share.gemini.google/zuHwlCUlGJPe
this could fit the website, title, isn't it?
don't hesitate to reformulate or rework: I don't feel strong on the result, just trying to keep the ball rolling, as it would be nice if we could get a visual identity
Regards,
Hervé

Maybe ask M&P to provide logo(s) based on these ideas?

Re: Logo for Attic?

do you mean a pure square logo?
that's true that what I currently did changed from prompt to prompt from such a pure square logo (based on this @ tick idea) to a title for header of Attic's site: not exactly a logo any more
if we go back to extracting a pure logo from it: it would be an A in wood (as an attic) with a cobweb (to clarify that it's for dormant projects)
prompting for ideation has been great, I don't know where we should go from there

I like the cobweb idea.
If the logo is to include a leaf, it occurs to me that M&P need to be involved.
