Creative Workshop Challenge 04—One Line Logo
Logos are quite possibly the hardest type of design work. They have to be simple, but not too simple, and tell you as much as possible about the subject without overstating the obvious. This challenge was to create a logo for the Summer 2012 Olympic games by using only one line for the main part of the logo—place your pencil to paper and only pick it up once the logo is complete.
I wanted to use geometric shapes, because I think they are some of the simplest things to use when designing a logo, or anything for that matter. I started sketching and one of my first sketches was an abstract interpretation of the flaming torch of the games. I ran with that, manipulating the squares with rounded corners and adding in the colors of the Olympic rings. I’m happy with the logo, but the biggest challenge I had was deciding the placement of the two extra squares. I wanted to add depth and dimension with slightly transparent, overlapping squares, but it was difficult to get the best placement for them. Does it work? Thoughts and criticism are welcome :)
