Abstract
From the structural characteristics of an existing figure - a graphical logo – a plausible solution space of related figures is constructed, which contains all other figures, which may be generated by systematically exploiting the structural characteristics of the input figure. The constructed space of figures can be understood to represent the solution space for the design of the logo. A designer, proceeding systematically by following some generative set of rules would have to construct this solution space at least to the point of a decision, if not entirely. In the presented experiment, this “solution space” will be exhausted completely and the resulting images (there are 218 will be outputted graphically. Questions will be asked concerning the design process, the generative rules, and the selection of the one instance representing a solution. The presented results are to be seen as “work in progress”.
