現代美術家協会（現展）のシンボルマークとかのエヴァンゲリオンに登場するゼーレのシンボルマークが同じものをモチーフにしているそうで、その元ネタは、やっぱり聖書（しかもヨハネの黙示録）に登場する“黙示録の仔羊”。この仔羊、七つの角と七つの目を持つそうな。

で、その七つの目を象徴的に描いているのが前述の二つのシンボルマークというわけ。

七つの目、は何を意味しているのか確証を得られるような答えを探せなかったのだけど、多分「神の力、富、知恵、威力、誉れ、栄光、賛美」の七つだと思う。

宗教に基づいたシンボル、ロゴマークってのはなんだかそれ自体が凄まじい意味を持ってしまいそうで、個人的には相当怖い。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
