Gillett, R 2014, What Your Logo’s Color Says About Your Company (Infographic) , Fast Company, viewed 2 September 2017, < https://www.fastcompany.com/3028378/what-your-logos-color-says-about-yourcompany-infographic >.

In this article, Gillett explains the importance of color and how they can affect consumer’s emotions which can have an impact on businesses. The author has compiled infographics (created by WebPageFX) relating to the psychology of color and how they affect people on an emotional, and psychological level. Gillett’s article focuses on the primary and secondary colours ( Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, and Purple ) and how these colors affect consumer’s emotions, beliefs and physiological processes. This article is useful for my research on Color and Emotional Design because it helps us to better understand how different colors can affect human behavior, emotions and thinking, providing insights into how we can design products that caters towards the users and their capabilities.

Research indicated on the article suggests the effects of the primary and secondary colors:

Red is a color which is associated with heat and fire, considered a high-arousal color, stimulating people to take risks and can be associated with danger, power, energy, passion, love, and aggression in individuals.

Yellow is a color often associated with the sun and fire, considered a high-arousal color, it can stimulate feelings of optimism and hope or cowardice and betrayal in individuals.

Blue is a color associated with the sea and sky and has been shown to calm senses and even lower blood pressure, allowing it to be perceived as a calming color and can stimulate feelings of trust, security, order and cleanliness in individuals.

Orange is a color associated with heat, the sun and fire, considered a high-arousal color and can stimulate feelings of energy, balance and warmth in individuals.

Green is a color associated with grass and leaves, can be associated with nature, health, growth and jealousy.

Purple is a color associated with wealth, success and wisdom , considered a low-arousal color and can stimulate feelings of spirituality, mystery, royalty, or arrogance in individuals.

In conclusion, these results prompt further research into the topic of design; colors and their effects on human emotions. If we, as a nation seek to establish ourselves as a true Space Nation of the future, then we must utilize effective and innovative design to create our products, architecture and cities that cater to the needs of all Asgardians!

Swedish born Australian citizen. Paranoid Schizophrenic. IQ 128. I believe we have serious military competition in the form of United Nations underground military bases, and USA underground black government military. I believe we have serious Alien threats from several sentient species we need to deal with directly, not only from space debris and asteroids. I believe we have the ability to utilize unaccepted and currently (seen as) unfeasible energy generation and weaponry systems. To develop and operate these types of machinery and weaponry is going to take some real knowhow and we're going to have to deal directly with international military in an extent that is currently not accepted to be the case. I hope to work directly with the Science Ministry regarding these things and we are really going to have to push the limits of human technical knowhow. My expertise is directly in fields most people do not believe to exist or be possible. I directly challenge these conceptions. Hopefully technological development from Asgardia can flow on to Earth based technological applications and we may be able to directly catalyze development beyond the malignant influence of nations who protect their industrial sectors for economic stability instead of solutions to global problems.

Greetings all,

as an innovator running for the Strategist position on Asgardia, I seek to ask my fellow Asgardians what you believe we, as a nation, should focus on.
Is it :

1. The foundations of how Asgardia will be governed? Who will rule (watch over) our nation? Should we have individual parties or a central council (or both)?;
2. The idea and design of the physical nation of Asgardia? Will it be a space station? Space ship? Space ring?;
3. The website design and social media algorithms of Asgardia's online domain asgardia.space?;
4. Cooperation (Spreading the idea of Asgardia globally and getting idealists and visionaries on-board, helping Asgardia become recognised in the global arena among states and the United Nations (or other global body), forming public groups to do research on behalf of Asgardia etc.)?;
5. The political system of the Asgardian nation; will it be structured like an organisation (e.g. Dee Hock's Chaordic organisation) where chaos and order coexist and is not centralised nor anarchical? Or will it be a meritocratic system where you are judged by the effort of your work? Or even our existing democratic system but tweaked to suit Asgardia's ideals?;
6. Science, innovation and research on future Asgardian technologies ( engines, spacecrafts, space-related vehicles and clothing, user-focused products, fuel sources etc. )?
   • ~> Educational systems?
     ~> Transport systems?
   • ~> Health & Hygiene systems?
     ~> Law enforcement, military structure?
     ~> Defense systems?;
   • 
     
7. Law and judiciary systems; social norms, governing laws, definition of justice, morals and ethics etc., will AI and robots be the judge for crimes? Or will humans continue to be the judges of wrongdoing?

These are just the 7 central issues and ideas I believe we should focus on, of course not simultaneously but slowly and slowly making progress fixing up parts of each 7 areas to build a foundation for Aurelia as a nation and society so that we do not start off completely unprepared. This is a big project for humanity and as such be done carefully and properly since, if rushed could cause unnecessary hardships for us as a nation later down the track.

If there was an area that you considered should be here but is not please leave your thoughts down in the comments and I will be sure to update this list when I get the chance. In addition, share your ideas in the comments and even rebut my suggestions if necessary, I am open to any and all ideas from everyone.

Thank you all, and let us work together to create a brighter future for all of humanity!

Yours faithfully,

Greetings everyone,

I am excited to be a part of this diverse community, this is a truly new and unique opportunity for myself and others. I wish all the best for Dr. Ashurbeyli and the Asgardia team.

As a student studying innovation and design I am fascinated by unique concepts, Asgardia is no exception, the world's first 'Space Nation' is enough to pique any person's interests. As a child, I dreamed of one day being in space on a spaceship or station and floating around in zero gravity, learning about the secrets of the cosmos; our star, what lies beyond the Kuiper Belt, the great vastness of outer space and our Milky Way galaxy. Asgardia as an idea is not too unique, it is the dream of every visionary and scientist but rarely has any person or group taken the initiative to kick-start an idea as grand as creating a nation in space, until now, by Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli and his team.

This is a truly exciting event to be etched in human history, this is our first step as a civilisation to push into the great Conceptual and Space age. There is no doubt that there will be great challenges ahead for us, but with willpower and determination in unison with a mindset for progress, we can and will strive higher and higher, until we reach the heavens and beyond!

I finally want to again, thank the brilliant people of Asgardia, Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli , and all those supporting Asgardia. I truly wish the best for Asgardia and am excited for the next frontier we embark on.

I'm a sci fi/fantasy novelist, martial artist, IT guru and weight loss success story. I want to share knowledge across the world. Asgardia is a perfect method to create a digital library in space, protecting all information for generations to come.

Said library would need not only digital books, but keys on how to translate our multiple languages for any alien species that may find it in the future. This requires a curator to manage all aspects and I would enjoy that challenge.

One initial step is to bring people together to discuss the idea and how it would function as a resource for all of humanity. This community would be the base platform to make the idea a reality.

It has come to my attention that the voting process can be confusing to many Asgardian citizens.

If you do not know how to vote for candidates such as myself, simply follow these instructions:

1. Click on the 'Space Nation' subheading at the top of the page.
2. In the drop down menu, click on 'Elections'.
3. Once you have accepted the Asgardian Constitution, at the bottom of the page click on '1) Apply to Run in the Elections'
4. Click on the 'VOTE' button.
5. From there, you can search by my username, or scroll down the candidate list to find me. As of the making this post, I am number 16.

Thank you for your support! If all citizens who have commented and liked my previous posts vote for me, I will be one step further to leading us all forward.

I truly believe money is the root of evil, but that does not mean our new society can run without it, nor does that make the act of pursuing money evil itself. Many problems we face on Earth can be solved with money, while others are caused by people's personal preoccupation with how much they can gain. World hunger could be abolished for years with the money that is put into military spending and war. The health and education of new generations is put at risk while our governments cut core funding to save their own pockets. Climate change is brushed aside as a conspiracy as energy companies continue to burn harmful coal instead of investing in the more costly, yet Earth saving technology of renewable resources. We know the system is flawed, and yet the people in charge continue to divulge in their greed. To make sure our new nation is strong and robust, we must learn from our governments mistakes, and make sure that our decisions on what is right and wrong for Asgardia is not controlled and founded upon money.
Remember, if you wish to see these values implemented within for our, I am counting on your vote.

Can you imagine how much further along the human race would be if, instead of putting trillions of dollars into war and the military complex!  We instead spend that money on things like health, education, science, to name just a few.  War is mankind at it's utter most worst!  Costing the people of earth their lives! And ultimately, it comes down to one thing, Money! A fiat currency is never a good idea for the populace, as it only benefits a few at the top and never the people it was put there to support.

When we have a true currency, and not fake legal tender! Then we can have true freedom.             None are more hopelessly enslaved than those whom believe they are truly free!
