This is a progression of trying to make a new logo for this channel that better represents the videos and projects.  The inspiration is from asian wall scrolls.  I tried to incorporate similar positions of text that you see in these scrolls.  There were two elements I wanted to incorporate, the whaleback saw and an ensō.  In Zen, ensō (円相 , "circle") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.
