Axe represents video games. We were big fans of Starcraft and played other video games as well. I am not sure if we would have picked anime as well, but possibly so. Perhaps it was a form of escapism, but video games were integral to our community.
Guitar represents metal music. We were avid fans of heavy metal as that music with its rage and anger over how world is resonated well with our own feelings about the world and society. We liked heavy riffs and angsty lyrics.
Finally, beer mug represents beer. Beer represents hedonism and pursuit of pleasure. I was a simple way to get happy back in the days. We drank, but not too much as to get wasted completely. Just to feel good.
Letters 'JT' on the mug stand for 'Just True'. They are probably the most important part. They mean that we only embrace things that we see as 'true'. In a world full of hypocrisy, bullshit, nonsense, brainwashing, propaganda and self-righteousness of old people, we reject all this shit and only embrace what is true to us. Video Games, Metal Music, Beer are things that can give as pleasure and happiness. They are the things we need and want.
Finally, seven-point star that I added, represent hope and dream for a better world where things we value have finally prevailed over the bullshit.
After a long while I rediscovered this logo. I am not sure if my friends have changed since then, but I think this logo feels all the truer now that back in the days when it felt like it is only a little fad.
'Just True' is needed now more than ever. It stands for all that matters. For the world we need and want.
It stands proudly in the face of the bullshit world that boomers and Gen W are trying to impose on us.
Just like Lelouch and Black Knights, Captain Herlock and his Pirates it stands for all that is good in our eyes against bullshit broad world and mainstream culture around us.
