Mascot

[ñͤͣ̄ͦ̌̑͗͊͛͂͗ ̸̨̨̣̺̼̣̜͙͈͕̮̊̈́̈͂͛̽͊ͭ̓͆ͅé ̰̓̓́ͯ́́͞]

It was suggested by Xooxe to imitate a caduceus with angler fish which I thought was not only brilliant but appropriate.

One of the unique things about this forum is the trolling and pranking which comes naturally to many people here. I think it is an identifying feature of the community.

Trolling and pranking tend to have a theme of tricking people into taking bait whereupon the victim is then bitten savagely and usually swallowed in big chunks.

This forum is not a place for healing as a caduceus would indicate, it's quite the opposite:

• wings found on a traditional caduceus fly in the air, angler fish live in the deep
• the "caduceus" is flipped vertically
• aligned with the sociopolitical symbolism of a pyramid, the angler fish are the lower class baiting the elite so they can eat them
• the kallisti apple is the disorder that rich people desire who have too much control over the ordering of their lives, the pentagon is the order that poor people desire who have more disorder and less control over the ordering of their lives
• order gained by the act of trying to disorder the lives of the people who want to keep them in poverty
• disorder gained by trying to order peoples lives in exploitative ways

The fractal is the LOLrandom factor which moves the viewer's eye between disorder and order, chaos being the interplay between the two.

Thanks Cram.

"Angler fish mascot 3" is about as far as I got with the name.

So, all of the iterations of the angler fish mascot that I made in this thread are public domain.

I'll post the various file formats for people to do with as they please for the final version or upon request for any version.

I do not believe you need to attribute this to me if you use it. Actually, I'd prefer you didn't. I had to use that Creative Commons License because of the fractal, though the creator of it didn't specify his or her name or ask for any specific attribution info but did clearly use the same license.

I think it should be fine for almost everything you'd want to use it for including commercial work, except for a trademark. To make it truly public domain I think there's a bunch of hoops I'd have to jump through, including getting a new high res Julia set fractal which I'd probably wait to do until after this quarter is over.

If anyone wants particular separate pieces of the image to play around with or the native file, just shoot me a message and they're yours.
