What aesthetic direction do you think has been most effective so far for /esg/. We started out with a bit of everything and for a while got a bit fashwave in our theme, and the last few days we've used just simple beautiful photographs of white european people in nature surroundings and environments. What do you think should be the "look" of our group going forward, with recruiting the right kind of people with the right kind of message in mind? I ask because he weekend is coming and I'll probably try to make some new material if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions.

i think we can keep trying different things

Sounds good. Which things in particular have you liked so far?

Fashwave carries a very specific connotation that i don't believe is reflective of what I've seen in this group, but it isi certainly a nice aesthetic.

Ive liked the european people in nature settings theme

I think fashwave is mainly good for getting attention and not much else, like a big neon sign. But the european people in nature theme is more true to our group and our motives and shows that we're serious and self-aware and not just LARPing or trying to be edgy. I think I may try some things with that over the weekend.

Also, have we come to any consensus on our official logo and name

In other words, what we're going to slap across all our propaganda images.

Cascade Front is the name, no logo yet

Gotcha

Let me know when we do, and I'll get right to work

well nobody is making one atm, you can try if youd like

I'll see if I can come up with anything good

I've got a bunch of fashwave and other propaganda on my site politicallyincorrectbase.com more specifically at politicallyincorrectbase.com/results.php?tag=fashwave. I personally prefer the wetern culture/statues/paintings imagery (politicallyincorrectbase.com/results.php?tag=western_culture) or the esg thread imagery like this one.

Yay

Likewise, I have a lot of information-pics and wallpapers

How do you guys feel about using the Othila rune as our main symbol?

"Home or homeland. Hearth, family, inheritance, lineage, estate, possessions."

We could use black, white, and green as our main color scheme, needs to be polished a bit but something like this ^^^ What do you guys think?

i like it

I think something like this has enough in common with other Northwest movements to show our kinship but is unique enough to signify that we are our own thing and not tied to any particular organization. I like the significance of this rune as well as the pine tree as an indicator of the location as well as growth and continuity.

mhm

fucking deep as shit

Yeah and the symbol placement makes me think of 'roots', which is an important theme.

I was thinking that too

circle one is my fav so far.

would look good on a patch

could be like the scouts patch

Here's a good book on propaganda if anyone wants the pdf

thanks @cdemir93

I really like that symbol/flag

But the tree and rune should be brown or something 🤔

Green+brown is a good farming-relation

No, I like the black and white. Black has an interesting heraldic/flag significance, and, to quote, "Black often represents determination, ethnic heritage, and/or defeating one's enemies."

Not to mention things being black and white indicates a strong counter against the moral grey-ness of the left.

White is purity and innocence, green is fertility and agriculture and the earth.

@Nix I agree, I feel really good about this design.

Not to mention you could much more easily wear it around in normal society-- it just looks like a boy scout patch when it's in that little circle, you could pass it off as rope tying or tree climbing or the sort. But the people who would know would _know._

@Orchid

ye?

I just wanted to know what you thought of these ^^^

looks alright so far

I adore the design 😄

@Orchid anything in particular you would suggest for improvements?

@Yung Koala thank you

apart rom being cleaned up no

The only thing I'd like is a simpler tree or something, but this *looks* better

I just like being able to carve, draw et.c. symbols

I like it a lot! Is the tree public domain? Did you make it?

The tree is not, it's a motif from old Germanic heraldry. I may have the change it the make it "unique"

The district that has used it historically had a lot in common with the communities we are planning

There's a lot of other pine tree designs we could use, any of them stand out?

I like the ones from the latter picture. It should be rather simple, not too simple.

I cant decide though.

whatever your avatar is looks damn good p14

Thanks 👍🏼

is it from something?

Dont know, found it on 4chan 😂

hehe

I would actually say pick one of the three-tiered ones, because three has a lot of interesting symbolic stuff

Besides the deal with three governing areas, three stages of life, three domains, triple gods, mind/body/soul, begining/middle/end, and the like, the triangle is also the stablest shape, and the first possible 2-D image. I vote for a three tiered tree.

@Nix some 3-tiered versions

looks awesome @K_Wagner

That looks wicked sharp - nice work.

What phone do you use K?

Just messing around, but I thought this looked cool

nice

That first one is badass.

Would make a good shirt.

>best shirt

Sure, if you like getting beaten and shot.

hehe

The one from above, but the circle only

Frame

Sandy

Paper

Dont know what to call this, sunrise?

autumn filter

Something like that

As you see I'm not the best editor, the edges are not really clean yet.

These are all really good, I'll see about holding a vote on them.

^

They may be too simple though

Simple is good.

We need to work on this one, it looks like a sun, could have a lot of potential.

memorable, and easy to reproduce.

THAT LOOKS COOL

sorry caps

Yeah, that's my personal favorite.

Maybe a combination of this and @K_Wagner 's second set.

Should incorporate the rune into it somehow. Maybe in the tree's shadow.

i really enjoy that autumn one

harvest festival quality

The problem is, that all these images have a very low resolution

They are easy enough to reproduce in a high res version.

Are you sure?

I'm no expert, but they seem easy enough, it's just simple vector graphics.

@P14 I like what you're doing, keep it up haha

Interpret the rain as stars in a timelaps

Thanks 😃

@P14 can you do that one with the rune included?

I'll try

This one is different though

thats the one

That's he one I've been using

One bigger and a smaller one

Are we thinking about a flag? Because then the rain wouldnt come in handy.

Where can I buy that shirt lol

what shirt

I'm just joking about above pic I think it would make a cool shirt ^^^

What if the rune is in the tree? Does it look funny?

The symbolism works either way.

Back in a bit.

There are yellow outlines on the second one that we need to get rid of if we were to use it.

i like these

damn

Just a white background now

I think I will be working on something like this

mixed with this icon

holy shit

that looks gr8

similar to this

Shit dude

These are fantastic

I'll try to give the last ones background a more natural touch

Still pretty flat though

OMG

huh

Well

This is gonna be spammy

wtf these

look

really good

These look so good

If you want me to combine any of these, tell me

this one looks

really good

yeah

Like sunrise

a little bit

do you think you could come up with a few new pictures with that autumn one?

this?

yeah

sure, what exactly did you have in mind?

i don't exactly have the most creative mind lol

but maybe like a sunrise behind it

with the words "a new dawn" below it

😄

Ok, ill see what I can do

ok thanks

You're doing great @P14

👍

I like those flags. They kind of have the future feel.

mhm

a better future

for all whites

Like a race destine to conquer the stars

mhm

that looks fucking great

Not finished yet

@P14 damn dude you're really good

Is the text alright?

yeah

that looks great

The stripe motif reminds me of the flag Japan used for friendly Chinese territories during the war

oh woah

Maybe a little too....... brown?

maybe

well yeah maybe a few more reds/oranges

White Ethnostate and all. Brown flag.

for that autumn feel

Should it be more orange?

Ye

Well

Im gonna send what I have and then make new ones

Cool.

That

That is good.

Most look quite similar
