KIA Logo
From KIAwiki
KIA has had three logos so far, two originating from the Kaotic Illuminated Adepts and a third from the launch of the KIA Illuminated Adepts.
Original Logo
The original logo, officially launched on Febuary 9th 2001, was a simple affair, consisting of a Sigil of Chaos that encompassed an eye in a triangle and Austin Osman Spare's glyph representing his concept of Kia. The line art was hand drawn by Anton Channing, who scanned this and coloured it digitally. This combined the Kaotic Illuminated Adepts.
2003
By 2003 it was felt by some that the old logo was a little plain and scruffy and so Anton drew a new version which he coloured by hand. In addition to being a lot more colourful, even psychedelic, it was also a lot more stylised. The eight arrows of the chaos sigil were rendered as tentacles for example.
2006
In 2006, Anton branched out from the original Kaotic Illuminated Adepts group and formed a new similar group called KIA Illuminated Adepts. To coincide with the dropping of the word 'Kaotic' from the name, Anton also dropped the sigil of chaos from the logo. Other changes included:
- Inverting the illuminati sigil and turning eye on its side giving it a vaginal look. This was inspired by a similar illustration by Nathaniel Harris found in his book Witcha: A Book of Cunning.
- Turning the glyph representing Kia into a form of Oroborus.
