Pencil positioning is a play on Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling—as God created Adam, inspirational design creates more design. Nearly touching pencils also represent constantly striving to better myself as a designer and a person. The brain symbolizes that design begins internally; inspiration sparks creativity in the mind. Lightning represents a quiet strength; communicating visually through design. These last two elements create "brainstorm"—who doesn't love a good pun?
