Hall 8 Logo

Yeap, the assignment on logo design for Hall 8.... Should be youthful, energetic, community building kind of stuff... Quite lost touch with all these. The first one (which I'm sure Ms Amy's gonna blast at me...) is this:



Wanted to show four hands coming together, forming an 8. Quite amateurish there... Woke up in the morning to do it before showing it to Joyce. Guess I gotta find another way of working... Maybe find a strong coffee brew....



Second attempt using the phoenix adopted by the Hall many many years ago. The negative space formed four bird heads, with the shape of the positive space as a phoenix, forming 8... Burning burning burning! Ah well... Dissatisfied with the text, it's pretty redundant to put in the 'VIII' again, but I dunno how else to balance out the logo there... but gonna heck care for now. Time to do 3d and 4d, and finish up that old man drawing.
