after many years of extensive research and experimentation, i have finally cleared up one of the most amazing unexplained mysteries of our time! Yes, the mystery of the infamous Aphex Twin "A" (or: "7\", if u will), has finally been solved! its quite simple really... 7\ = Lamba ---> Lamba is the scientific term for the length of a wave (wavelength) (the distance from one peak on a wave to the next peak) in fact it doesn't even have to be a sound wave! actually.. im surprised it hasn't come up before (unless it has, in which case, dont i feel embarassed) u learn it in grade 12 (and now 11) physics here |

The Aphex logo has nothing to do with richard. It was designed independantly by this guy.... http://www.p21.co.uk/ He used to dance for Aphex when he first started playing live! He designed the Aphex logo and he stillmakes the t-shirts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I emailed the guy a few years back and the logo was more or less made up by random by just messing aound... No no real meaning behind the design, I'm afraid & thats from the designer himself...(I won't embaress myself by telling what i thought it was...maybe oneday)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that website was confusing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The thing is like an inkblot... -an A -a lambda -a person fucking another person doggystyle -the yellow pages fingers logo -a dj working a turntable -nothing at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever, then this designer guy used Lamba! its just lamba with a tiny nub on the inside of tha A! and, it means WAVELENGHT! (fairly relevent for a MUSICIAN, wouldn't u say!?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Without lambda where would we be? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that misses looks like a girl I used to work with... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually.. she sort of looks like this girl at my school too weird.. but WE'RE GETTING OFF TOPIC! now start worshiping my theory, damn it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes yes, your theory... maybe Lambda was the inspiration... who knows... I remember reading that it was supposed to be A and T, but I still can't see that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What did you think the design was jand? c'mon, I'll still think you are Amazing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't seem to buy any shirts at the p21 site, the shop link doesn't work, what is one to do? I don't want one custom made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

right, we're talking about the round SAWI logo....yeah... Hold Case in hand and turn 45 degrees cockwise so it in your hand diagonally... And, I see a stylised version of the half of AFX's face (the young version with hair to shoulders...)...you can see his eyebrow(with that dip for his eye) & the the other bits being the hair.... Ignore the circle... My girlf sees this as well...is it the drugs or is there something in it?.... (am I still amazing..;)... P.S. Email the guy at prottype about the font...he may be able to help out.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, ha. Thanks jand. I know the guy from Prototype 21. His first t-shirt was prototype-21, in the same pseudo font. It's a freestyle font that was based on Brody(the FACE etc.) and Graffiti. + You are still Amazing! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how exactly do you do that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the a and the t are really easy to spot, thats the first thing i saw. it's like half of a t , and an a with out the middle line going across all the way... COMBINED. it's not that hard. |
||||||||
|

blame the drugs... blame the drugs. Nancy R was right all along :)... |

nancy r touched me in a bad spot |

I like AMinal's theory. Maybe Aphex is a play on the word apex in which case it would make even more sense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I know the symbol debate is done, but in some article about fonts and logos, I read that the Aphex symbol is the international symbol for DJ at work. I'm sure that was made up for the article. |

Argh! What's with this lurker shite? I don't post in two days and I'm a filthy lurker? Such a nasty term! I feel like a pedofile hiding in a dark alleyway! Bleugh! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
errr.. i figured that one out ages ago. it also looks a bit like that stylized man throwing scrap paper in a can. it also looks like an "A" and a "T". OR a man playing the keyboard. DRJJDJRDJRDJRDJRRJDRJJDJDJR.. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the (7\) is nice imho. Im gonna get a silly logo when i get famous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should get a logo now before you are famous: it helped aphex twin get recognized more easily |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah your right......hmmmm...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you got that from me mate. i saw it in science class, the symbol has something to do with light, scientifically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
http://www.aphextwin.nu/mb/topic.php3?topic=12214&start=0&s eekwrd=&idxstart=100 maybe you didn't get it from me, but, it still is a mystery. we should ask afx if it is the lambda symbol? hopefully he won't an asshole fucker about it, and lie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just read this topic Zombie and it won't be a mystery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i never saw that topic (or at least ur post in it) didn't mean to steel it from you btw: its not necessarily light it could be light...sound...energy..(which light/sound are), basically anything that travels in waves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(7\) i have always thought its a boomerang if you just delete the left leg of the A and its it wood have great grip for throwing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's lambda, not lamba, AMinal. : ) and i think RDJ was hanging out in the woods, and suddenly saw an UFO with a bright light coming out of it, so he approached the UFO and an alien divinity came out and talked to RDJ in these words: "Richard D. James!! By This UFO, You Have Found The Light!! I Will Teach You The Magical Sign Of Musical Power Which Will Bring You And Your Music Fame And Glory!!", and then the alien divinity said a magical formula and the ( 7\ ) logo appared before RDJ's very own eyes!! So RDJ used that sign for his music, and the power of the sign made the music become great!! |
