I started playing around with a version of this design in 2022. I named it Willow in my original digital sketch because it resembled more of a willow tree to me. The sides descended further, and there was greater separation between the "leaves" and the "trunk". But I knew it was never quite right, so I kept making adjustments. I played around with making some nodes sharp and pointy, and then round, and then a combination. 



This design started working for me when I shortened up and tapered the sides, and smoothed out the top. Only, then it didn't look like a willow tree anymore, so it needed a new name.



Boho Bulbs draws on a simple, symmetrical, motif both oriented vertically and then inverted to create an interlocking pair that does not need an offset. It's clean and consistent, with just enough personality to keep it from feeling rigid.
