Main Visual Design Concept
標誌中的三個點和勾玉形狀呼應了原先的BDSM標誌,象徵了BDSM的三個部分:拘束與規訓,支配與臣服,以及施虐與受虐。此外,它也代表了BDSM的三個核心原則:安全、理智和互相同意。三個勾玉形狀也代表了BDSM三種動態的角色:主動方、被動方和具備雙重屬性者。這些元素不僅代表社群內的多元性和包容性,也象徵著安全、理智和互相同意的核心原則。標誌中的問號形狀也和研討會的縮寫ASK呼應,一同在禁羈世界中探問自身,也代表對知識的渴望,鼓勵持續的學習和對話。彩虹元素則顯示我們對於多樣性的涵容與重視,一同塑造一個支持和尊重個體差異的空間,是禁羈研討會的盼望。
The three dots and tomoe shapes in the logo echo the original BDSM emblem, symbolizing the three components of BDSM: bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. Additionally, it represents the three core principles of BDSM: safety, sanity, and mutual consent. The three tomoe shapes also depict the three dynamic roles in BDSM: the dominant, the submissive, and the switch. These elements not only represent the diversity and inclusivity within the community but also signify the core principles of safety, sanity, and mutual consent. The question mark shape in the logo aligns with the conference acronym "ASK," symbolizing the quest for self-exploration within the kink world and a desire for knowledge, encouraging continuous learning and dialogue. The rainbow elements highlight our commitment to diversity and inclusivity, aiming to create a space that supports and respects individual differences, embodying the hopes of the BDSM Conference.
本次主視覺運用了亞太禁羈研討會的縮寫 "A", "S", "K" 的字母,藉以反映會議的核心主題和目的。字母 "S" 設計成麻繩和鎖鏈的形狀,象徵BDSM中的道具,也象徵傳統的束縛和桎梏,暗示著透過學術的討論和思考,這些結構正在被重新理解和建構,並透過BDSM的實踐,釋放新的自由和更多可能性。
字母 "K" 旋轉90度並超出其原本的框架,且在左下角和kink的筆劃融合,象徵以禁羈精神突破典型,並像一束光般向外探尋非典型的沃土,呈現研討會不滿足於既定邊界的探索性質。
ASK的灰色也象徵黑白之間的灰色地帶,代表這些議題都存在持續研究的空間,而斑駁的紋路,也象徵禁羈議題存在的歷史性。
最後,三個字母通過中央的研討會標誌串聯在一起,象徵研討會作為一個互聯網絡平台的角色,連接不同的學者和實踐者,促進知識和經驗的共享,彰顯研討會將禁羈社群與學術界聯繫起來的期許。
The main visual incorporates the initials "A", "S", and "K" of the Asia-Pacific Kink Conference, reflecting the core themes and objectives of the conference. The letter "S" is designed in the shape of ropes and chains, symbolizing the tools of BDSM and representing traditional bondage and restraints. This suggests that through academic discussion and contemplation, these structures are being reinterpreted and reconstructed, with BDSM practices releasing new freedoms and possibilities.
The letter "K" is rotated 90 degrees and extends beyond its original frame, blending with the strokes of "kink" in the lower left corner, symbolizing the spirit of kink breaking typical norms and seeking out atypical ground like a beam of light. This portrays the conference's exploratory nature, unsatisfied with established boundaries.
The grey color of "ASK" symbolizes the grey area between black and white, indicating ongoing research potential in these topics. The mottled texture signifies the historical context of kink topics. Finally, the three letters are connected by the central conference logo, symbolizing the conference's role as an interconnected network platform, linking different scholars and practitioners, promoting the sharing of knowledge and experiences, and highlighting the conference's aspiration to connect the kink community with academia.
