Goddess Label Contest

Ideas for the Goddess background image.

If we use your idea you'll win a year supply (12 Bottles)

I was thinking Amma (4 armed Indian deity)

KateD suggested Nefertiti

Please remember its a background image so it has to be easily recognizable silhouette without crazy detail which is why Amma probably wouldn't work

My contribution to the contest

[Ildergreier]

The image is of the earth goddess that goes under a lot of names…

SteveO, do you mean ideas from the net or personally created art?

[XSteveO]

Either way Nu

Hmm, weird.

Hmm, weird.

I'm getting "invalid file specified" message.

[NuTrix]

Could be my phone?

I'm getting "invalid file specified" message.

Hmm, it is an ordinary png file....

I can save in jpg for you, if you want.

[NuTrix]

I can try from another device later

[Ildergreier]

NuTrix Oki.

[NuTrix]

Ok, lol, I may need the jpg...I can't get that file to show on anything I own I'm DYING to see what you posted!

Birth of Venus by Botticelli, maybe just Venus and the scallop shell if it's not too detailed.

[XSteveO]

pretty sure this is in public domain too, so good suggestion.

[XSteveO]

Just to clarify, please remember the background image is not much more than an inch. It has to be very clear as to what it is.

You can certainly suggest other persons work like "Birth of Venus" but whatever concept is chosen will need to be redrawn in silhouette as to avoid copyright issues, or in the public domain. We have the artist.

Creating your own design, as Ildergreier has done, will require surrendering all rights to that image as it will used commercially if chosen. There will be no exceptions to that so if you're unwilling to do so, don't submit it. Other than the 12 bottles and recognition as the contest winner, if selected, you won't receive anything else and Aser will own the image and all rights associated with it going further.

I would like a cutout of the goddess and clamshell. Its pretty solid symbolism if the clamshell translates to silhouette.

The good (or bad) news is, I can't see SteveOs attachment either though I know it's for the Evolve display page. I can see nephil's fine though...

[Muestereate]

Ildie, I really can't make out what most of your images are. Too much detail and fine lines. Just a suggestion, Look for some sort of radius slider can bring the detail DOWN.

[Ildergreier]

Muestereate Thank you for the tip

[NuTrix]

I love this image.

If it were the silhouette of only the woman with the stars between her hands it could convey ethereal, majestic and feminine power...

[XSteveO]

I'm stumped, I've gone into my settings to make sure I should be able to see the image, but I must be over looking something.

Well nephil is using imgur and the rest of us are using the forums server to host the images. What type of phone do you have Nu, if you don't mind

[NuTrix]

Moto, and I'm using a Samsung Galaxy tablet, and my laptop with an older Windows operating system.

NuTrix I can see my image

[Muestereate]

I ca see it too, I think it is a competitor trying to make you quit buying XS.... or the FBI

[Prettyrickyboi]

I think the Egyptian Goddess Isis would work.
Her winged silhouette and graceful pose is unmistakable.
She has been described as 'the divine mother of the universe' 'who became the most popular and enduring of all the Egyptian deities'.

Isis is pictured below. (google stock photo)

[Muestereate]

I'd like to propose something different, deeper, more feminine.

It is man who embued our images of goddesses as sexual. In the Greek and Roman Temples, the priestesses were often the subject sexual lures and acts. As centuries passed the sexual innuendo was kept and even encouraged It was easier to twist into something bad, blasphemous and to be used as a tool to keep women, "in their place'

But a deeper look into the real mythos of Goddesses reveals them overcoming great pains and tragedies. The real goddess is one who rises and reasembles herself through the pains of relationships, bearing children and heartbreaks. She rises reassembles herself into something more beautiful than just sex. She rises somewhat like a phoenix, somewhat like Winged Isis but she is no longer a child.

In Japan, they have a craft called kintsugi where they reassemble pottery and fill the cracks with Gold. I wanted a symbol of "the broken feminine. The Chalice or cup is one such ancient symbol of feminism. A chalice is more sensuous than a cup but is barely sexual. All aspects of the universe have masculine and feminine aspects if you look close enough. The feminine is always, "receptive' both emotionally and physically.

In this picture, I imagine the chalice on a golden background instead of black. The broken seams photoshopped out to transparency and the chalice placed overtop the golden layer and the gold shines through the cracks in the chalice. This is my idea of a modern goddess, minus the photoshop work.

[NuTrix]

Muestereate That is an interesting and unique take (though personally unappealing to me ) on the subject.
It doesn't seem to match the description of/for this particular product though...

From XS:
A blend for an encounter with a man (alpha male, powerful individual) whom I need to see me as a Goddess. Meaning, I would like for him to feel deeply moved by me, awe, but also adoration, the desire to serve and protect me, mixed with infatuation. An aspect of sexual desire as well wouldn't hurt as I know this can be a powerful motivator, however I want the all over effect to be steered by a feeling of respect (meaning he would not necessarily make a move on me unless I make one on him first).

ETA
The picture may be interesting too, but I can't see it...due to FBI or French fried potato martians...

[Muestereate]

mine would be a fundamental shift from what do you want to feel like to what do you feel like now. I haven't read any reports that support the product description. No men are groveling ya know?

[NuTrix]

Weeell, 12 bottles would be pretty amazing...Goddess does have great selfies and I'm sure the groveling is held in check by the respect aspect ^_~

[Prettyrickyboi]

I assume this means people like the Isis idea, but wont like it

A crown made of leaves

Ooooo! Or silhouette of female head with a crown of stars?
Head turned slightly left, not quite profile, face tilted upward, long flowing locks adorned with a crown of stars...
