Also, the circle with circles is cool. At the same time, I was hoping for an image that captures the plasmoid more than the electrodes.
You know, this thing.
Also, we need a log for the new http://DensePlasmaFocus.org site – specifically for its forums. Something simple, quick. That’s going live in a few short moments. (It’s bad enough I’m behind on FFS site, now, we have another site).
I hope you got the Photoshop files I sent you? In Photoshop you simply use the “layers” to hide the white background layer to get a transparent logo. Or change the color of the layer to have a different one.
The white background is what you need for print (white usually prints nothing…). For web use, a transparent GIF is more appropriate. (See attachment, this is a transparent GIF with web color palette)
If you don’t have Photoshop, I can do that for you. Simply tell me what color (RGB value) and what size you want.
I chose the electrodes instead of the plasmoid because:
-Nobody has seen how a plasmoid looks like. Highspeed pictures can’t show the microsocopic structure and the rest is theory.
-A plasmoid is a rather fuzzy thing, hard to visualize, composed of little mass and a lot of energy.
-The theoretical shape of a magnetized plasmoid is a microscopic torus, same shape as the huge…. tokamaks! (ok, scientists, shoot me if I’m wrong)
-I wanted a simple clear-line 2D logo because that offers the most possibilities, whether it be web, printed, painted, tattoo or chiseled in a block of marble in front of the FFS building. 🙂
-Although a real FF reactor ultimately may have electrodes looking very different than this (Someone here suggested a crown-shape), this is how it started.
Look at the electronic symbol of a transistor. That resembles a point-contact device. Nobody makes these anymore since the early 1950’s, but that’s how it all started.
If this FFS-symbol sticks, it will always remind of FF-1, because there can only one be the first.
