Transmedia Labeling – Updated

I’ll jump right to it: here’s the symbol I’m proposing to indicate that a page that looks real is indeed fictional.

It’s a “wink” to say that not all is what it pretends to be

So where and how to use it?

I’ve remodeled a Lowlifes character page to include the wink whenever I thought there might be some doubt. Like on this page example.

Also, as this picture shows, I’ve added it to the profile image (and on the Twitter profile too) and in the About page I’ve included the full project label (although slightly simplified from the original draft).

Here’s the revised label btw:

For anyone interested in using the labels, you can download the Illustrator files (I saved them as CS3 for greater compatibility) here (remember to right-click and “Save As”:

• Labeling System
• Wink

And here’s various winks:

• black on white
• white transparent background
• black transparent background
