The Logo
The name "Peganum" is driven from the scientific name for Syrian Rue, "Peganum Harmala". This plant contains Harmaline which is an alkaloid, therefore it had been used for spiritual endeavors and rituals. The logo embeds a Pi symbol at the center, because mathematics plays a central role in the generation of my art. Also Peganum starts with a pi in Greek alphabet. The second idea is “digital art” which is manifested as the pixelated nature of the logo.
Also the lines below the logo reminds the 1s and 0s of the digital world.
The general forms is inspired by Persian dream-catchers which are made from dried Syrian Rue (Esfand or Espand in Farsi). It also has a hidden meaning: If you look at it as a 3D object, viewed from above in an isometric rendition, it resembles the top of an old column which indicates the ancient art and architecture.
