See below inspiration for our new aesthetic trend forecast called ‘Afrowave’

*“Gye Nyame” (jeh N-yah-mee)* is the name of the camouflaged adinkra symbol.

No one lives who saw its beginning and no one will live to see it’s end, except God. — (Gye Nyame translation meaning)

Gye Nyame (except god) is revered as one of highest Akan spiritual symbols. It is a symbol that has many interpretations. “Except God” simply means that one recognizes the supremacy of God and, in essence, one is not afraid of anything — except the Supreme Being. One should not be hindered from doing anything except what God forbids.
Gye Nyame also means that one recognizes that God is omnipotent and omnipresent, that God is above all. The Supreme Being is the creator of the world and all things that are in it. The Supreme Being controls all things in the world as well as the powers that operate the world.”

The Adrinka symbols do more than prove that the Africans had a writing system of their own that transmitted highly sophisticated cultural and spiritual ideas and concepts. They may also prove that the Akan People also had an advanced knowledge of astronomy and astro-physics and depicted that knowledge in their beautiful symbols that they used to adorn themselves, their clothing and their buildings.

LittleKidogo is interested in creating a new aesthetic trend and calling it Afrowave — a mixture between Western Vaporwave and Synthwave.

Write and explain why images are included here (what do I want borrowed from these) — and the section need descriptions of how to be applied to the logo
