The past...

Having nothing to do in a summer afternoon at the beach, I decided to play a little in the sand. Having already used the JC design over the years, I decided to add a V to the bottom of the two letters. That first sketch reminded me a lot of a anchor, which being a citizen of a country with a big tradition in sea-faring, made me like this concept. Returning home, I tried to design it in the computer, having taken great advantage of the mirror capabilities of the paint programs.

What it stands for

It stands for me.
A first look at it suggests a deer shape, which reflects my ecologist side. After that first look, the letters begin to draw up my name. The overall symmetry of the design reflects my search for balance in life.

The future!

Not having a strong artist side, I can't promise anything, but the two curves in the upper side of the logo suggest a pair of eyes, which by itself suggests the V to be a bird's beek. Future variations of the logo (if any) will appear in this page, as I expect the logo to be stable.

Am I on drugs?

Although this page seems to demonstrate so, I am not and never was. I also do not have plans to be on them in the future. Say no to drugs. But legalize them.
