Finally lost the old Daolin characters but I think the new logo looks great on the website. Time to print some T-Shirts I think. 😁

Oh and for anyone wondering about the strapline around the base of the new logo, it's taken from the "New Treatise on Military Efficiency" written in 1560's by Qi Jiguang. It translates as something like... "Those who learn extensively and strategise, shall achieve victory."

So, I'm going to try and keep the illustrations quite simplistic using minimal modern clothing so you can see the positions better.This first drawing is quite rough and I will tidy it up alot but what do you think; Is it enough to illustrate a position?

I find the process of translating Chinese texts is similar to other ancient languages, a 4 step process. 1. Transcription from the caligraphy, 2. Transliteration into a western font, 3. Literal translation of the best fit for the words, 4. Interpretation of the full sentence.
