Happy birthday, man! :) :cake:
Haven't been on here in forever so just saw this, thank you!!
Nope prob! I’m barely on DA either anymore.
Thanks so much for adding my stuff to your favs! Great to see somebody likes what I do!
:) You make really great art, you deserved it, keep it up!
can you tell me where the username ww salmon and explain the concept of your personal logo?
I actually have an article about this on my website: www.wwsalmon.com/2016/02/wwsal…

ww = wenwu, is my father's name.

My original username, which I still use for my email and some older accounts, was/is wwsamson (ww and my first name). When I didn't want people who knew me to immediately draw connections to me from my account, I changed my username to wwsalmon.

For a while I didn't have a logo and didn't need one. Then I moved and met a few new people, including allisonpasbjerg, who took the time to make me this logo: wwsalmon.deviantart.com/art/Re… (it's gone through a few little tweaks, but it's more or less the same as the original).

About two months ago, I decided that I didn't want to be associated with Minecraft forever. The new logo is still very much based off of the original one. I first took it down to just a lineart fish shapep (wwsalmon) and re-made the ww's (which I consider to be the defining iconic feature of the wwsalmon branding) in a very simple geometric fashion. I drew a circle around the whole thing, and found it to be familiar, but lacking in memorability. So I made three copies of the fish lineart and stacked them together to make a triple-salmon thing that is more unique and memorable.
