(I think this link will only be understandable by italians, sorry about that: listen to this while reading )
My boyfriend helped me design my logo last year, and it is still slowly evolving, but this one already has all the important elements that did not vary ever since we created it.
I haven't created a stamp yet, but I plan to so I can easily add it without having to draw it freehand all the time.

Basically, it depicts the initials of my pseudonym (W and T). The edgy spirals on the top are a symbol that I like to use to express a controlled chaos: straight lines are steady and easy to read and draw, but spirals are movement and change.

Meanwhile, the double horizontal line at the center (where the T is) should resemble a torii gate.
That was originally just to call out my passion for japanese sumi-e style, which greatly came by from playing that little gem that is the Okami videogame.

I was all the more convinced by the shape of torii that came out when I found out that it's exactly the typical one of the Kashima Torii, called like this because of the one located in Kashima sanctuary, in Ibaraki.
The cool thing about it was that this temple is dedicated to Takemikazuchi, a kami (god) of thunder, which is part of my art name/self provided online identity. He was also a martial god of swords (Kashima sanctuary has a dojo), and apparently one of the ever first contendant in a sumo match. Cool guy, huh?

Sorry for the long post, here's the potato.
