The idea of the triangle in relation the pelvis region of women and men is relevant to the idea of multiplicity. As Macnab states, a woman’s reproductive organs form an upside-down triangle: ovaries, womb, and birth canal contained within the triangular truss of the pelvis, while the triangle pointing upward is a symbol for the male. Multiplicity occurs through reproduction, which occurs through sex between a male and female. When a man and woman mate they produce offspring and eventually they produce children of their own, and through this interaction of men and women multiplicity continues. This is relevant to The Color Purple because Celie has children of her own in the book, although she has to give them up, and she is struggling with her womanhood throughout. The triangle symbolically represents these concepts she is trying to grasp as she grows older.
I wanted to make a logo that was a little more interpretive and abstract for the viewer. I decided to use triangles and put many smaller ones inside a big one. I wanted to show the idea of reproduction and how it occurs through multiple generations of women. The triangle is the appropriate symbol to show that and that is why I made some of the triangles upside down.
