#15 - Job Class Logos

As I restarted my logo research for the job classifications I decided to research logos, or symbols, from history. I specifically looked at symbols used in academia throughout the ages and what I was drawn to was the symbols for periodic table elements.

I liked incorporating these symbols because one of the founding philosophies of Lux Antrum is to embrace the scientific method which was popularized in the Enlightenment era. It advocated that all theories should be tested using existing science and proven so that others can do the same and agree on the outcome. In a modern world filled with conspiracy theories such as the earth being flat it irks me that many people have stopped accepting the scientific method and that there are universal truths tested and verified with science over and over again.

I began exploring the periodic elements and seeing if I could assign meaning based on my 5 parties of job classifications. I quickly found some really good connections. I chose Oxygen for the group of doctors and everyone dealing with humans. I chose gold for the artists for obvious reasons. I chose silver for the literature academics as the more popular element that is the foundation of much of our world. I chose platinum for the production specialists because it is a very common material used for jewelry and other such products. Lastly I chose magnesium for the technology group because magnesium is a common element used in making computers and other electronics.
