OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 04 | Development - Logo | Action against Animal Cruelty Campaign - Petection |

Logo Development 

 When designing the logo for our campaign we looked into some existing animal campaign logo designs. These were: WWF and Peta we took inspiration of how both of these brand logo consist of one vector of an animal and a typeface which is the name of the organisation. Below are list of different animals that we concluded were appropriate to build a logo identity for our campaign.
  • Squirrel
  • Turtle
  • Dolphin
  • Rabbit
  • Cat
We decided to choose a rabbit for our logo design, the reason being that it represent of all household pet similarly to 'WWF' Panda logo representing all wild animals. In addition, a rabbit shape is very distinctive and people will be able to recognize it. To draw the rabbit digitally we used a lived rabbit and drew over it. 

 Below are the pictures and illustrations of the specific rabbit that we referenced and captured with: 
 

                

Logo progress -  Development
By referring from the rabbit photos I drew out a couple of digital illustrations via Adobe Illustrator.


These rabbit logo illustrations were taken in a group crit, so we could have other opinions and suggestions from peers and tutors. Overall, majority of the votes gravitated to the second design as is was simple, clear, has a distinctive rabbit feature and the fur was unique. They suggested to us to try some neutral yet friendly colours to make the logo look welcoming and eye-catching. 

After this feedback was passed on to the collaborator (Aneta) by following the feedback - made some changes and re-touches to the logo. For example, the outlines and the fur details were a bit slight sharp to the eye. The collaborator made these changes by making the details look softer, bolder. Once the outline of the rabbit logo was completed, she then applied some colours to make the rabbit look more realistic. 

Below are the colour versions of the rabbit logo: 


Feedback on coloured logo:
  • The eyes on the white/black design makes the design looks like the rabbit doesn't have a soul. 
  • There are too many details, the logo should be simple and clear also noticeable from the distance. If the logo would be in a lower scale, people won't be able to see the details like dots on the rabbit's face and fur. 
  • The brown colour looks better as it makes the design more friendly and encouraging.
Utilising the given advise and feedback, the collaborator again retouched on the logo's colour to make the design more minimalistic. The details from the rabbit: fur, whiskers and shading were removed. The collaborator also experimented with inverted colours with white outlines. 

To concluded we mutually decided to choose the third illustration logo - light beige rabbit as our final logo for the Petection campaign. The reasoning out of the selection was it implied friendliness, warmth, innocent and suited the concept well.

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical  small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second  development work was successful as the colours of the type has  been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the  pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one  on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper  stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the  visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is  appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context.  Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge  and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme,  as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

Objectivity - Subjectivity

Evaluation: Overall, my final evaluation including looking at my peers/year tutors feedback of my logotype. Has shown that I needed to do more research into my colours, as I tried to stick with the original colours of the current logo of Krispy Kreme. As my last critique group told me to stick with them without changing it. Some liked and disliked the outline of the typography as some say it looked like icing, whilst others said it would be better if it were fuller so it makes more of an impact. Most of the comment was about the bad colour choices of the Green as it has connotations of an industrial, chemical and unhealthy look. But some said it could have connotations of high sugar as for a donut. Everyone recognised the doughnut shape for the logo, some saw the neon letter as an American diner look as my critique group told me to stay with the retro look. One of my others peers comment, that the use of the contrast between the Sans Serifs and Serif typography is appropriate to d...
