"but then the 2nd one with the earth over some native americans doesn't make any sense to me. Whats the connection?"
It deals with the primordial/raw side of the music. Good points. Like I said, I was pretty happy with my initial type treatment so I used it on both of the drafts. Perhaps I should play with the type treatment a bit more. It worked with both, but I like your idea on wide letterspacing, ect. I may do something in Universe bold or DIN 1451 (which is typical in my 'more creative work' but it's worth playing with I guess.)
I really want to develop the idea of "the ruins fall" but I have to stay away from modern ideas such as of the desaturation of America, 911, political imagery, ect. I want to develop an idea to combine classical with modern. I'm thinking about playing with the fibonacci sequence in another draft or combine imagery of ancient ruins with modern architecture. Both seem to enter into the realm of "cliche" however so I'm trying to come up with a concept to find a happy medium, but still have religious and spiritual undertones.
Keep the ideas coming. You guys are great.
