Started with the ITV: Bellows blowing into a stove/ furnace, upon which was a crucible. From that, the crown. Vision’s crown was gold with a ruby in the center. Fairly archetypal. No frills.

This is going to be long, meandering, and largely about the thought processes behind creative decisions, if you find that distinct from anything else we do. Feel free to skip to the second link if you want to see the piece.
