In this option I've taken words from the aphorisms, added others, and linked them to different points of the catastrophe symbol to create a diagram of the catastrophe.

Jonathan! You've done a right good job on these. And all without the never found drum scanner. I like the frontside above, as it's got more visual depth, and backside D or plainer. I changed my mind a bit on the lexico-visuals. I think they work it taking it from art project to the graphical and diagrammatic. Do you think you could include a very small statement on how the catastrosphere was produced?
Hi there
Looking in from the inside but not having been there for the class, I like the simplest versions.
That is the back of postcard D (in black) and the front with the line circles in monotone (black on white or white on black) but with no logos. For me, the logos fit better on the back. On the front I think they interrupt the contemplation of/meditation on the form of the catastrophe
I prefer the image, unanchored and free floating in space - that way the circles, for me, suggest far more of an enigma.
Also I like the idea of the circles as a quasi-Mandala...
J McKay, you are a super catastrophic visual-textual genius type person. Well done, you should be awarded a specially disastrous badge.
Okay, my two cents' worth: I agree with Miranda about keeping the front simple, so either something like option 3 (white on black, no logos) or the diagrammatic representation with the aphorisms, but no 'catastrophe' label on the front and the print small enough that it's almost decorative.
For the back, I think the multiple choice question from F is marvellous, as is the little diagram above it, although I prefer the visual style of B, especially if we're having such a blank canvas for a front. 'Consultation, analysis and implementation' is wonderful too.
I do like the Barbara Kruger-style ones but they somehow seem, while aesthetically the most pleasing, to lose something of the whole excessive mania of the thing.
Jonathan, these are just brilliant. I'm torn between the clarity and mystery of options 3 and 4 (which also seem pleasingly sinister to me), and the diagram with labels, which seems a better representation of our complex class discussions. The "consultation, analysis and implementation" tagline is perfect too.
