Description
This was one of my earlier submissions, as a drawing: PAGANIt's an old drawing which I thought was never symmetrical enough.
Lasse aka ~necrophagous used to mock about that and tried to get it symmetrical by simply mirroring one side, which couldn't work, because it also says something in runes, and when you mirror the image - ah, you get my point. However. His approach can be seen here: Pagan Logo
So now I finally redid it in a much better way: I vectorized it in Sodipodi and got it as symmetrical as it can be.
I quite like it, so tell me what you think.
Full View is recommended. There the background is transparent and the logo is quite large.

Hey there. Thank you loads for adding this one to your favourites.
Take a look at this link here: NOTE

all right i saw it and i see what it means. my user name isn't just something fancy that i just thought up. it is what i am.
so i was wondering if you know what the runes mean besides their letter/sound values?
you should make this into a print, or something like that.i would buy it.
i'm gonna add you to my watch list too.

Thank you for adding me to your watch list, it's very kind of you.
My account isn't very eciting though, I do not upload alot. I don't know when this will change again.
Well I was raised in the ΓsatrΓΊ faith, so I know what runes are - my parents tought me to write runes before I learned the latin letters.
Rune divination was done alot in my family.

Lo0kinG shaRp--hEy, I like how the fuLLview DiFFers fr0m the ThumBnaiL. was this inTended?
the DesiGn is eLeganT. tHat y0u mEntion iT, sYmmeTricaL, too. i wonDer what your vector wouLd lo0k Like, weRe it to Look ALive...

Sorry for answering in place of her. The difference between thumbnail and fullview is due to the fact that the JPG format does not allow transparency. Thus, she had to choose a background color for the thumbnail, which obviously was black.
Oh, you asked in a comment on her journal entry who "whe" are. I guess I've answered this in the last sentence, hehe.

Hmm I've been looking back and forth on the original and this one, and I agree with Mark on that the original already was kinda symmetric. Actually I prefer the old one, motives like this has an indisputable charm which is easily lost when symmetrizing (I made that word up right now I think). On the other hand - I'd go for this one if I was ever to get the tattoo OR the mousepad
π: 0 β©: 1
Well yeah I was actually thinking about that too.
I like organic pieces more as well.
But you see I'm having my vector phase! Haha. So this was a must.
Pf course, as a piece on merchandise the vector version is better. And for a tattoo too, probably.
Who knows? maybe one day there will be mousepands with this design. haha.

I also think the design would look good on a whisky bottle label, make one for me if you ever get into merchandising this one, eh?
π: 0 β©: 1
A whiskey bottle! You're a genius. I love whiskey.
Pagan Malt Brew, huh? How does that sound? Yeah, yo. Hahaha.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha now YOU'RE the genious - Pagan Malt Brew sounds excellent and veeery tasty nnjehehehe
Hey if I remember it I might try playing a little in PS with the idea.

Oh, nifty. Tell me whenever you really do that.

This looks very good, but I have to say I think that your original was very symmetrical already for a drawing ( I always thought that his comment was based on him missing the point that the first and last runes were supposed to be different 
Anyhow, I'm pleased to see that you have not abandoned this aspect of your artwork, I always liked your paganism inspired works most of all 
This would make a superb mousepad design btw 
seeing this reminds me of that tattoo design, I wonder if vectorising it would make that easier to finish off? I have no idea how vector art really works
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe a mousepad design, eh? Well, why not?
I'm just waaay too lazy to get things like that done (including cool cup prints and all that stuff).
But yeah, anyhow. Thank you so much for faving this.
Who knows, your encouragement might work! Hehe.
I'll quickly submit something and then I'm off to pardeee! Huahahaha.

Thank you lots for your comment.
