Research Centers at CAMD
The three centers at the College of Arts, Media and Design are hubs for interdisciplinary research; all are collectively conceived and shaped through joint initiatives led by accomplished faculty who excel in different disciplines.
Situation: As a new entity, each center was in need of a symbol and visual identity to create awareness of its existence and promote its endeavors.
Results: Originating from the “CAMD square” (the graphic symbol of the college), the new logo is built on concepts that the Centers are places where ideas emanate. As a sub-brand of CAMD, the visual identity utilizes the same color palette and fonts. The visual identity for each Center diverges when it comes to representing complex topics and the fundamental nature of each area Added bonus: Each visual identity has a solid foundation for continuous evolution as it falls into the hands of other people for new content creation.
