Dear Scubashooters, It's only two years that the scubashooters.net tribal turtle logo found its way to the outer world and it has alredy become our peculiar and distinctive signature.
It has been created following my directions by a very famous graphic artist, Luca Zaina. You can admire the quality of his work @ www.artofweb.it .
The original idea was to create a unique and distinctive logo that would have immediately brought people's mind to think "oh! This is scubashooters.net's logo" .
Not a camera not a kind of fish not an abstract design but a tribal turtle with a diaphragm on the back. The turtle is universally known, i believe that even in Katmandhu nepalese people do know and have seen at least once a sea turtle; the turtle generates all kinds of positive feelings in all kind of human beings and it's a good example for us of a gentle, quiet and respectful being. The tribal tattoo origin is lost somewhere in the ancient times of some tribe of some island in the Pacifc ocean but it also represents the tribe of the underwater photographers of the world all together different cultures different countries but the same passion for the sea, photography and underwater creatures. The dyaphragm is self explanatory of the website main theme, photography.
More than 20 graphic designers from all over the world joined the contest we held to find our logo three years ago and more than 230 designs were presented and examined. It has been a tough decision to take and we ended up with the logo you all know and love. The write itself has been created using the Bimini font and Bimini is the name of one of the Bahamas islands... Even the font we used in our logo is tightly linked to the sea.
I'm sure that the next time you will see our logo around you will look at it with different eyes.
Thanks for being with us, stay tuned, there's more to come!
