New class logo

Prachtig!! Such deep meanings and irony can actually be embedded in such an deceivingly simplistic piece of art.

Firstly, let me start with the basic concepts and symbolic representations that you have to understand before you can fully appreciate the complexity of the above drawing and view it from a different perspective.

There are two parts to this logo, the first is Sarcasm, the second is Reality. But before i go on i should state my disclaimer first, haha.

1. This logo is clearly (negatively) biased, and intentionally exaggerated to bring out certain points. It is NOT TRULY REFLECTIVE of reality.
2. However, having said that, i would still maintain that it is accurate to a certain extent, and i do not feel guilty for portraying such negativity because i am merely expressing what many of us (guys) feel anyway.
3. This is art, haha appreciate it and view it with an open-minded attitude.
4. Let me reinstate (1), that it is kinda exaggerated! I don't totally feel this way either.
5. It's just a small comprain that most guys have, as most analyst would do i am just magnifying it, there's nothing to draw about a molehill.

General
Red is used as a feminine colour, represents the females.
Blue represents the males.

The is clear separation between the two sides.

The 14 lines on the blue side and the 12 lines on the red side represent the respective guy:girl numbers in the class.

The two cute cyclops are actually 同 words; modified to have arms haha. They originated from a similiar looking chinese-character-to-funny-cartoon-charactor transformation thing from Chieh hwee's msn display picture! ahah.



Sarcasm
The two chinese characters (pun unintended) can actually be interpreted as 同工同酬, which means equality regardless of race religion nationality or most importantly gender differences. haha. Other interpretations can be such as “同”班“同”学、 “同学们同甘共苦”、“同等学力”或这是“同归于尽”，of which the last one is hyperexaggeration and makes the least sense! ahah. All get from dictionary one go and find the meanings yourself haha. The first one is my favourite.

Reality
Now time to disprove all those chinese phrases, arghhh. Okay starting from
同工同酬 - yar right there is clearly much divisions and segregations in the class. Don't have to say it's pretty obvious enough, haha.
“同”班“同”学、 “同学们同甘共苦” - actually nothing to say.. haha
“同等学力” - haha we've got overly imba people, and den we've got those at the other extreme such as me.
“同归于尽” - This one no need say lar.. haha.

Now for the pictorial intepratations.

05S78 exists as two solid factions held together by a filmsy, shoddy and if not almost transient piece of connective filament. All the descriptions are literal.
With arrows that represent the directions of movements from both factions; away from the S; 05S78 is at great risk of breaking apart. The moment that connective factor disintegrates, fractions of the class would start drifting away.
This factor could be anything; school, camaraderie, class spirit, unity towards a common goal, or our welfare reps haha。
Hence this element is also a composite, constituting of the boys and girls who are common in their cause of trying to unify the class ( Blue + Red = yellow ). However, more often then not, it is the guys who are playing out this task of amalgamating.
Sadly, the effectiveness of this "bridge" is restricted by the lack of reciprocation and cooperation from maj of the girls, and is therefore hindered in terms of the extent of its reach (by the red lines).


Then comes in the 'conflict' factor. What "amity" exists between members of the class, or “同”班“同”学们之间. As individual students are propelled by ambition towards a common goal, friction would no doubt be generated, as the competition stiffens. There are only that many places at the top, you have to fight to attain what you wish to achieve, scholarships, S-papers blabla.

Quote zongyi:
"They run towards the apple tree
Laughter masking ambition
All eyes on the green gems now
No time to smell the flowers
Amity is fleeting
The jostleThen an elbow
There aren't enough
for the the weak
or the slow
Darwinism at its best
No reasons for compassion here
Then again
since when were there ever any"

There are two intepretation for the green elements:
1. Separators
The separators (green elements) could be anything: overly-pragmatic attitudes of certain individuals, self-contained people etc. They exists in both external and internal forms, working from both outside the class, or within the bonding infrastructure itself (green in the S).

Hence, with both "Conflict" and "Separators" acting on this system, it is nowonder that the "bridge" is having such a hard time in doing its job in maintaining class unity. =(

2.Guy dominated bonding efforts (no pun intended for bond)
As i have said earlier, "it is mostly the guys who are playing out this task of amalgamating". Guys play a bigger role in the yellow complex, hence "yellow + abit more blue = bright green".
Now the outer two < > brackets serve the totally opposite functions, we gather the class together, ahah!


Now okay so that's it, actually more den half of the above were crapped out and not of the original plan hahaha, thanks to my keen artistic sense and interpretation skills lolol. It's been a long time since i've had to write such things, sure is fun! Now show you the original doodlings which subsequently lead to this essay lololol.

.Chieh Hwee drew the red one, and the first one is i copied from her display pic.

From the first streetfighter style pic, i was joking when i told people it's the new class logo. But den after awhile i thought eh why not? So i came up with above. The one at the top of the post is version 2, with the lines slightly improved to meet the 14:12 ratio.

I must have been real bored
