I think if the logo was turned sideways, looking like an infinity sign, it would look better. The infinity symbol would complement the concept of indefinite lifespans better. Also both lobes of the infinity symbol should contain the double helix strucutre. Also add a bit of a 3-D "twist" effect to make the dna double helix more visible and it would make the infinity sign look better.

I see, the 8 does mean infinity, but I didn't get that at first glance. An infinity sign would be a lot more striking viscerally.

btw, can someone post a picture of a sideways ImmInst logo so we know what it looks like? Then we'd have a more apt comparision of the two.

Yeah i think that an infinity logo would be really nice for imminst. I really think that the infinity symbol makes a good impact; that's why i have it as my avatar.

I think this initiative is as useless, delusional and as not serious, as stupid as this:

you guys have common goals, immortality, which is still the same aim. eternal cannot be real.

this forum is acting like a sect keeping its patient sick, stick on internet. You only promote internet addiction but for more stupid people than the alternative, which are more realistic since they dont debate on a subject already close.

No, keep the logo vertical to retain the inverted hourglass symbolism.
