This idea sounds intriguing but I don't quite understand what you're suggesting.
Could you elaborate some more?

The "Perception versus Perspective" picture looked like a fun scene to copy so I
did. It's an ingenious illustration of a great concept so thanks for passing
that one on! The media didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped though...

Neither do I.  ;D

Well, I thought at first that the two halves of the infinity could be made into
a sort of db, but it's more of a bd shape.  So then I thought that if you put a
db in front of the infinity, then you could somehow tie into the infinity from
the front, and have it work.

Since that might be a little sketchy, then I thought that maybe if the db and
the infinity were somehow "open" on both front and back (like neon sign letters
made from a single tube), you could have a continuous "spline" going all the way
around, and then project a shadow on a background to give a "closed" db that
morphs into a "closed" infinity and back again - maybe with something clever in
the transitions.

Hmmm... I may or may not understand what you're describing correctly but even so
what I'm envisioning from your suggestion would be pretty cool indeed. But alas
very difficult and (worse) time consuming. I may have to set this little
side-project aside for now until some new inspiration hits me. Logos have
interested me for a long time and I think they're a lot of fun to make though.

Have a great day!

Regards,
Dave Blandston

Oh my goodness! I had not seen that before - that's quite an accomplishment!
