Rob A's (Im)personal Blog.

Bright Ideas is a category I am using to capture my bright ideas, or at least ideas I think are bright. These include real work things I'm working on, items of pure speculation, and clever things I have discovered.

Enjoy!

After playing with the Mercedes Logo I figured I'd follow up with another Processing application to try and duplicate what Christopher Carlson did in Mathematica to allow dynamic interaction with a logo created by Franco Grignani special edition of the magazine Advertising in Italy.

I parametrized a few more options, set some up by guess and by golly, and added the "hidden" feature of dragging your mouse to move the center of the innermost disc...the "focal point" of the logo.

Over at the I'm Just Creative Blog Graham posted about exploring logo designs with Mathematica. Since I can't afford the £2000 pricetag, I dismissed this as outside the realm of mere mortals and amateurs.

Then I remembered I have had some experience with Processing:

...an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions.
