# 21 Inc. Logo

Original logo (crowdsourced from Fiverr)

![circles](21-logo.png)

Style image

![infinity mirrored rooms style](21-infinity-style.jpg)

Above two images are processed with a neural network style transfer algorithm

![neural output](21-infinity.jpg)

Great, but two problems:

 1. Resolution is way too small for print, any larger exceeds memory limits

 2. Neural networks produce a lot of local patterns that appear as artefacts

 3. Distribution of patterns is too dense/sparse, misses the spirit of the style

 4. Color profile is not quite right

I adjusted the color profile slightly to bring out the nice blues. Then used an

optimization algorithm ([primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive)) 

to recreate the image using only semi-transparent

circles, and rendered it as an (infinitely scalable) svg.

![final logo](21-final-svg.png)

I rasterized the image at 9k x 9k pixels as a `.tiff` file, 300ppi at 30 in x

30 in. Took it to a giclée printer (Berkeley Giclée, best value in the bay

area), and had it printed.

Mounted it in my company's foyer.
