“Emoti-Con Brand Re-Design: Choose your Favorite!”
Creators: Xiangru, Kyle, Mimi,, Lillian, Alexandra, Doraliza, and Emily
High School Students from Emoti-Con Design Fellows @ Parsons Scholars Program
About this Project:
Help us choose a new design and brand direction for Emoti-Con!
The Emoti-Con Design Fellows are students from the Parsons Scholars program at the Parsons School of Design. They spent several weeks this spring learning about the Emoti-con NYC Youth Digital Media & Tech Challenge to discover what it represents from a youth perspective: an opportunity to access a community that welcomes and celebrates students’ innovation on how to use digital tools for positive changes.
Then, they worked to explore new branding directions for Emoti-Con. Look through both proposals and tell us what you think in the comments!
Design Proposal 1 is by Kyle: "With inspiration from an impossible square for the arms representing emoti-con’s ability to connect people and ideas. Primary colors for the color scheme to represent the artistic and design elements of emoti-con. And the words “Think Outside The Box” to represent the process of making this logo and what emoti-con embodies at its core my logo was complete!"
Design Proposal 2 is by Xiangru: "The logo mainly consists of a human hand and a machine hand in the shape of an electric bulb indicating cooperation and ideas. The blue and green of the hands indicate the world."
