i’m all about contests. they are fun. they challenge me. i like the feeling of winning, but who doesn’t?
this was a contest put on by the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University. The contest was focused on designing a logo for the upcoming year (2012-2013) to represent the different departments and their efforts towards diversity.
My design explanation: The 4 different squares represent the four departments in the College of Architecture (cosi, viz, arch, and land). Each square standing alone, but coming together to make a united idea. The ‘lines’ represent individuals in the different departments making their own path through the college. Having ‘non-square’ squares shows that we are all unique in one way or another, thus being diverse. The symbol could also be used as stand alone mark, or with the text “the year of diversity.”
