Here's where, if I can think of anything, I'll put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else on the site.
Logos & pictures:
This is my original DC logo, dating from 1978 and my first art lesson at secondary school
- we had to design a logo for our folders, and as I was only 8 and had no idea about anything, my art teacher (Mr Robinson)
had to design it for me. In those days, of course, it was records. Then much later in life when I got into music & computers,
it became CDs. Fascinating(!)
The heiroglyph logo is (I hope) a representation of my name. If you're a proper Egyptologist,
please feel free to correct me... I got a copy of a book of heiroglyphs, complete with rubber stamps to make your own cartouche.
Anyway the heiroglyphs are phonetic, the hand represents 'D', the vulture a long vowel sound, wavy water line thing 'N', reed leaf
is a short vowel or 'Y' sound, and apparently the open mouth is kind of like an 'R', as there's no 'L' sound. God this is dull.
Like I said if you really do know about this stuff, let me know. I hope it's right, cos I have it tattooed on my arm...!
My fascination with Ancient Egyptian stuff came about when I found an almost-mint copy of E.A. Wallis Budge's Book of the Dead, left lying in a puddle near the post box on my way to school. I don't begin to understand most of it, but I liked the pictures!
