While we're on the subject of old-fashioned literary magazines, here is the logo I designed for the magazine I inherited, "Golden-APA." The apple with "Kallisti" written on it is the symbol for a myth about a beauty contest among Greek goddesses. The apple is the "Apple of Discord," deliberately thrown before the jealous goddesses as a cause of strife. I added the wings when I designed the logo, of which there are many other renderings. "Kallisti" means "To the most beautiful," that is, the Miss Universe crown for beautiful Greek goddesses. You can read about my literary magazine experiences at this older By-Product post from 2016.
Original drawing was about 9 1/2" x 3", black ink on illuminati board, 1999.
