First, thank you for all of your feedback for voting. It was super useful.

The most popular phrase was Never stop exploring. Miranda put together a design. But I felt like exploring was the wrong word. So I had her rework to say adventuring. I think that word works better.

For brainstorming for the dragon, I use midjourney, a graphics AI. I don’t remember the phrase I used, but it came up with this basic design and dragon.

When I saw the dragon, and it’s fierceness, I realized it worked well with the “come adventure with me” album title. The basic theme is overcoming your fears. The idea of adventuring, knowing you’re going to face a horrific dragon does just that.

The original image was cool, but it had too many colors in detail. An album pin needs some simplicity.  Miranda fixed the image to fit my needs. Now I think it looks fantastic.

Which do you prefer these two?

Dragon

or Compass

The compass looks [pardon the pun] circumscribed and lopsided. The color palette is very flat and bland, whereas the other one has lots more color, texture, and feels three-dimensional. The dragon looks very eager for adventures. I know lots of folks who'd go. ;) --filkferengi

I voted compass but do love the idea of the dragon inviting me along on an adventure

Tough choice this time. I like both, but the dragon calls out to me more.

Rats! I missed the poll by one day. I like the Dragon. The Compass looks

The compass looks too much like a Boy Scout merit badge. I don't think you are looking for a scouting adventure. Plus north is facing the wrong way - maybe going in the wrong direction is the adventure. I would definitely go with the Dragon. My only suggestion with the dragon is to replace the mountain with white lightning bolts. In this way you have a firefly dragon.

Tho I didn't notice N is the wrong direction (I'm not mr observational guy), I still like that because North is often seen is the "right direction". Any other direction is more like an adventure...
