Pure light icon for God: Our all-inclusive, all-loving Higher Power has new Yang-Yang sign of pure light named "Bright Shadow, Without the Shadow." (MODELED AFTER THE ANCIENT CHINESE YIN-YANG SYMBOL)

"Bright Shadow, Without the Shadow" is an icon for our all-inclusive, all-loving God made of pure light.  It is designed by altering the ancient Chinese Yin-Yang symbol into a Yang-Yang icon.

A City of Expression (ACOE) created Yellow Edition Jax (YEJ), which takes another look at the art organization and its 1991 “The Yellow Edition” of what was then known as iD Magazine.   YEJ is based on a new logo designed with a prominent use of the drastically changed version of the ancient Chinese Yin-Yang symbol.

The popular ageless sign has been altered to become a new Yang-Yang icon of pure light, the ACOE member/designer’s logo for our one all-inclusive, all-loving God.  The antique original symbolic meaning of the Yin-Yang sign is "Bright Shadow."  For the Yellow Edition Jax logo, the designer uses the dominant element of light to create new “Yang-Yang” artwork that was fashioned by altering the dark Yin swirl of the Yin-Yang symbol to become another light Yang area now filled with starlight.

This title of this positive new icon for God is “Bright Shadow, Without the Shadow” and it was given by the designer to provide another meaning to an updated version of the age-old symbol, which now represents the pure light that only our Higher Power can emit.

This new Yang-Yang sign for one God is free for use in any artwork promoting light, love, and peace that could and should help to bring unity to this era of unwelcomed harmful and divisive social changes.  We welcome the submission of all artwork containing “Bright Shadow, Without the Shadow,” to be featured in a special gallery page.

A brightly colored interpretation of a peacock feather was added within the original light Yang area of the ancient symbol.  Its accompanying dot of light within the original dark Yin swirl is filled with a NASA image of our planet that is used to represent how acceptance of diversity could and should bring desired harmony and unity to God’s earthly peoples.

The symbol’s original dark Yin swirl now brings us the stars, and its accompanying dark spot within the original light Yang swirl now contains the NASA image of a starlit nebula known as “God's Eye.”  This is meant to demonstrate how light eternally permeates darkness.

Yellow Edition Jax’s logo uses this fresh, original “Bright Shadow, Without the Shadow” icon in addition to many other works of found art. This magazine’s logo appears below and directly above another completely different attached design that uses found musical art to form a tribute to the God-given powers of the international language of Music that reaches and teaches souls about life.

This logo also contains an image of the Morris Island Lighthouse in South Carolina, whose website (www.SaveTheLight.org) works with a mission to save the lighthouse from eventual ruin.  The lighthouse is now flooded by waters that are causing the sand beneath its base to erode to the ocean, causing the structure to lean northeast.

The altered Morris Island lighthouse photo is used to form the lowercase "i" in this design spelling the word “iD,” with the dot at top being an altered version of Clair Hartmann’s original explosion design representing A City of Expression and the group’s desire to create bridges leading to world peace.

According to the designer, the icon uses the lighthouse to represent Jesus and all other teachers of light and love who provide us with a certain type of knowledge that gives healing light to our inner spirituality and strives to provide inner peace. The capital "D" in iD shows the purple rain in which the artist formerly known as Prince has us laughing.

This overly detailed YEJ logo also contains found art of a dolphin representing resurrection, while God (depicted as found art of a wizard) releases a dove depicting peace that flies freely towards light. Olive branches wrapping upward from around the bottom of the icon are meant to help provide peace of mind needed to heal our souls.

In addition, the Earth and Moon reflect light and found art of three galaxies are depicted as individual elements providing additional sources of illumination.  This new bright icon welcomes the new day's sunshine with a design that seems to scream "Let There Be Light!" or ask the question “How About a Little Sunshine?”

The desire for peace among locals was the basis for ACOE’s 1991 Explosion of the Arts and 1992 Explosion of the Arts II art festivals, along with other street art events sponsored by the now disbanded group of young upcoming artists comprising ACOE.  Many of these group members have developed their skills and have become successful artists who mostly still reside in Greater Jacksonville.  We are growing our organization and will continue to strive for world peace.

This logo of the latest issue of what was formerly known as “iD Magazine,” Yellow Edition Jax, uses numerous found spiritually symbolic pieces of found artwork including a lighthouse representing Jesus and other teachers.  Along with use of the new Yang-Yang icon that depicts a higher power made of pure light, there is resurrection, life, peace, and diversity represented in this zine’s edition logo design that may appear on swag for sale by A City of Expression to raise funds to help fulfill our mission of unity leading to world peace.

This is a tribute to music being the word and worlds of God that was created using found musical art which is highly altered.
