“The only thing worst than being blind, is having sight but no vision.”  ~Helen Keller

Although, just a quick glance at the NEGU (Nay-Goo): Never Ever Give Up^® graphic design (Logo) reveals a white surrender flag behind a prohibition symbol or within a red circle and a red letter “N” in the front of the flag; If one looks closer, they will see that although that is the case; it also spells out the phrase, “NEGU”.

The capital letter “N” is situated normally, centered inside of the circle.

The lower-case letter “e” is titled to the left with its top facing south-westerly.

The letter “G” is situated in the same area as the letter “e”, but with its top facing north-easterly,

and the letter “U” is situated where the two side stems of the letter “N” are, with its base within the bottom of the red circle.

**”To the World it may appear to be just a logo, but to the logo,                                                   *I.T. appears for the Visually Literate to behold.”

This is a Visual Literacy exercise in using one’s analytical ‘Mind’s Eye’ to recognize oftentimes hidden messages and meaning (Noticing Everything Generally Unnoticed), whereby the graphic design (Image/Logo) has the textual message embedded within it; with still another acronymic message embedded within the text within the image, as well as a polarity “Allowance-Symbol” balancing the Prohibition-Symbol by allowing one to “Not” Give Up.

A Synergistic-Semiotic Convergence of Graphic and Text Enhances Visual Literacy.  The logo is an enlightening and empowering word-phrase acronym (seed-word), creatively and uniquely integrated within an eye-catching graphic-design symbol, like a mighty oak tree in a small acorn seed.  Starting with various shapes and lines converted into text; then into an acronym and then back into the shapes and lines of the logo. It’s a dynamic visual metamorphosis within a 2-D (two-dimensional) construct, having a Past, Present & Future continuum effect;  Whereas in the words of the late Marshall McLuhan:

“The Medium is the message.” (Meme)

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”                                                          ~Alvin Toffler

The design-thinking unique technique created and employed by CEW(“Q”), which he refers to as “Graphext ImExpressed Abdstruactionism” or GIA (Graphic + Text and Impression + Expression and Abstract + Adstract + Reductionism + Construction), takes a ‘Swiss–Army–Knife‘ approach, as a “Glyphed–Artsy–Ciphe“; resolving the ‘words (text) versus picture debate’, while providing a new way of seeing and thinking; as the NeGU Logo(s) image/symbol (as well as other works of his) is more than meets the eye.
