Rebus

BACK TO SQAURE ONE.

The term rebus refers to the use of a pictogram to represent a syllabic sound. This adapts pictograms into phonograms. A precursor to the development of the alphabet, this process represents one of the most important developments of writing.

Green Lungs

This is our final Green Lungs Logo, as we feel it captures the lack of green space showing the grey sections as buildings and the green section as the green space. We wanted to give this symbol an organic feel which has been achieved with the rounded edges. The green colour is also very bright, demonstrating that the environment can brighten your life and create better health.

Road Signs

I found this exercise quite challenging, as it is extremely hard to show something with just a symbol - that everyone can recognise.

I choose to use a traffic light to symbolise the red light district. It is a very simple idea, however isn't straight to the point and therefore people may be confused as to what it means.

For the soccer pitch, i simply created a soccer goal and a ball. I think this symbol would work quite well.

For the low gravity area, i showed lots of people floating! - Not sure how well it would work...

I choose to draw some low flying birds - to be very literal with this symbol.

For the fun run, i drew someone running in a 'fun' way!

I think my cinema symbol is the best one. It's a world recognised and clearly demonstrates a cinema.

For the fashion shop i drew a simple dress - it's not completely obvious but it does get the point across.

For wet paint i showed a tear drop to represent that it's wet and a paint brush to show paint. I think symbol is also quite successful as it's simple and easy to understand.

And finally for the big surf symbol i created some large waves. Again this symbol is very simple and however i'm not sure the meaning is completely clear.

Humpty Dumpty Excercise

In this exercise we used certain symbols (that we had been given) to represent the nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty. It was quite challenging to find something to represent each phrase, but also fun to find a way to symbolise Humpty Dumpty in a modern way.

Tribal Symbol

This was the process in which we took, to come up with our final logo. We wanted to base our logo around a triangle shape as this shape looks similar to the letter A - representing all of our names. We also wanted to represent equality so we decided to include three triangles, each represent one of us.

We decided to use this triangle to represent our tribe, and added the colour blue as we feel it is very it is a neutral, uni-sex colour that is positive and links in with our equality theme.
