Term 4 - Logo design

The possibility that one of your designs could be painted on your schools graffiti wall was quite a motivator for this project ;)

Just to explain the big picture: our school did a series of discussions about the following character building words:  caring, trustworthy, respectful, citizen, responsible, fair.

For this project we now had to design a logo for one of these words. Our art teachers are now going to choose some of our logos to paint onto our schools new graffiti wall. (To promote character building in a fun way.)

collecting fonts

I just used the word design to experiment with different fonts.

Our teacher then told us what our word is - I got "Respect" and these are some of the symbols that I linked to the word and wanted to add to my logo:




symbols

the clenched fist

if you want you can check out a brief history of the clenched fist and see why this symbol linked well with respect (for ages it has been used as a symbol of defiance against violence) and to me, if you handle a situation without violence, you show respect towards someone.

I then experimented with different font concepts, trying to portray the concepts of respect as clearly as possible. while keeping in mind the elements and principals of design , the gestalt principles and creative triggers.

These were my four final Logo options:

This is my final design :) respect in the form of the clenched fist.
