That's what I tried to achieve with the images here to a certain extent: - The fish represents the tiddler - The "crystal" and nodes represent how the several linking elements (links, tags, wikiwords,etc.) constitute the backbone of a tiddlywiki - And the diamond resulted fromEric Shulman's suggestion and I quote "implication being that the facets are tiddlers, and bringing them together in an organized way makes a very valuable result" - and solid if I may add
Although has you said conveying through images the abstract concepts of a "wiki" and "information" is very hard, and not always universal (like the fish, in Portuguese for example a *tiddler *means absolutely nothing). Still we can start aiming here on the opposite direction and perhaps instead try to associate a strong (even if somewhat random) image with tiddywiki brand On Saturday, 13 December 2014 18:05:50 UTC, Stephen Kimmel wrote: > > I think that the poster graphic should be an integral part of the message. > It can't be just a pretty picture; it must convey its own message as well. > That's part of why I like the fish version better than the diamond.
