Famous religious artefacts and relics

What is a relic?
In religion, a relic usually consists of the physical remains of a saint or the personal effects
of the saint or venerated person preserved for purposes of veneration as a tangible memorial. Relics are an important aspect of some forms of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Shamanism, and many other religions. nkisi power
A history of Fetish figures;
The object is from the Congo in central Africa; it was accessioned in to the collection in 1913 but was probably made sometime during the 1800's.Although such objects are frequently called 'fetish' figures, referring to the fact that they were believed to have magical powers or that excessive devotion was paid to them, this is an entirely European term and evolved from a condescending misinterpretation of African civilisation.
*Taken from the website http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/journals/conservation-journal/issue-31/the-function-of-a-fetish-figure/

While searching around google for some of the most famous relics i came across a type of replica called a fetish figures.
These were some of the ones i found:
Some of the Fetish figures would have nails driving into them.This was believed to be a sigh of punishment for those a who would want to sin.
Soen of the models would have no meaning and would maybe be used in rituals.
Some would have bits of glass of other things.

Press photograph

I especially like the look of the fashion photograph and illustrator because they relate most.






Animal logo progresion

Below are some of the most commonly used animal logos.The first thing i notice is the use of actual animals in them.If animals are not used pants and other form of beings are relaxed.For my logo i want to use a animal as well as i feel it gives obvious attention to what my product is.
The logo on the bottom far left is something i will be experimenting with as it can automatically be i denitrified as a rabbit and is not over complicated as well.There are very few lines attached to it.I will be doing some rough sketches of how i want my new logo to look.
Below are some of the logos i have worked on using my sketch pad:

Extending on the leaping bunny idea i decided my final logo would be a mock and it would instead be a leaping cat.I found this idea quite funny a cute and would be very easy to identify my product(as the key animal would be in the logo).Here is a picture i will be developing my idea from:
I have a idea to use the outline and to make it simple.
Some logos that i shall be taking into consideration when making my final logo better.The puma one links into the leaping bunny(or in this case cat)idea.

1914 (Cabaret Voltaire)



Below is one of the old video made by Hugo and his acomplances:
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/87355143" width="500" height="375" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

This shows what would be considered a strange ritual dance and singing from all the cast. At the end we see Hugo(who is the main part of the movement) in a strange tin suit who is then booed of by the audience and has things thrown at him. This is accurate to when he tried to recreate a sacred African ritual and was aparantly induced into a trace from reading it.None of the audience understood what was going on(as this was something different to the other acts they  had on before). soon after the failer of his shows the little place behind a pub(which they had rented with the promise of getting the place more business).Hugo and his cords soon moved out and went their ways but the dad movemtn still remains to this day.
DADA had been chosen at random from a dictionary and was actually a breast feeding product and other things. This was supposted suggest the random nature which was DADA.
