In the nascent stages of crafting Prominence, I grappled with the challenge of defining a fitting logo. Initially, the significance of the logo eluded me, but as I delved deeper into the narrative tapestry of Prominence Zenith, clarity began to emerge. The evolution of its logo became a reflection of the project's transformative journey, undergoing multiple iterations over the years.
The first rendition featured an alien head, reminiscent of the iconic Alienware logo. Given Prominence Zenith's focus on extraterrestrial life, the choice seemed apt. For those familiar with Kyrie, the protagonist, his alien nature inspired the symbolism. The alien logo, in essence, represented the rising journey of the protagonist, a visual metaphor for his ascent.
As the project matured, so did the symbolism embedded in its logo. The current iteration portrays a slanted flask, its contents seemingly in motion, with a heart and a wing, both appearing to melt. The symbolism embedded within this logo is profound.
Analyzing the chemical compound within the flask reveals sulphuric acid, known for its volatile and acidic properties. This choice carries nuanced meanings. Sulphuric acid, metaphorically, may represent the environment or surroundings, often deemed toxic. Its volatile nature aligns with the idea that, regardless of adversities, one must persist, moving forward. The metaphorical environment becomes inconsequential in the face of this resilience.
In essence, the logo encapsulates the essence of Prominence Zenith, a journey of transformation, growth, and resilience. It serves as a visual testament to the project's dynamic narrative and the evolving nature of its characters and themes
Overall Message:
The Prominence Zenith's logo serves as a visual metaphor for the transformative journey within the narrative. It encapsulates the essence of growth, resilience, and metamorphosis. The slanted flask symbolizes dynamic movement, signifying the ever-evolving journey of the characters and themes. The melting heart and wing represent a profound transformation in nature, a process of becoming something entirely new. Coupled with the symbolism of sulphuric acid, the logo conveys a message of resilience in the face of adversity, an unwavering determination to move forward despite the toxic elements in one's environment. In essence, it tells a story of overcoming challenges, embracing change, and emerging stronger on the other side.
The Unique Twist:
My reference for this logo was actually the famous Final Fantasy VII logo featuring the meteor. My analysis focused not on the overall appearance but only it's silhouette.
