Final Pieces
Final Choices
This simple, round and highly identifiable logo is one of my
final choices for use as the official logo, as I prefer the
minimalist yet bold approach to identifying the charity. I
believe that using this particular logo will be useful on several
different formats as the colour choices mean that it can be
used above a large picture with a multitude of different
taglines instead of just ‘SAS’ This is my prime choice because
while not too formal, it is not too wild either, relying on bold
colours and shapes to represent Surfers Against Sewage.
This is my second choice as a final logo as it ties in more to the
youthful and carefree surfer image more than my other logos.
The positioning of the text helps to confine the entire logo into
one semi-circle, and colour matching helps with brand
identification. This logo will also be useful when
superimposing on larger images as the background can be
changed to match.
Rejected
While this logo uses nice bold colours and is suitable for this
charity thanks to the usage of a surfboard shaped base, I
believe that it is a bit too wide to be used effectively in a lot of
the media, such as posters and recruitment forms. However,
this may be a logo that can be used in official charity
merchandise where there is a bit more room to spare.
I am very happy with how this logo turned out but I believe
that it may be a bit too formal for usage in this charity’s
campaign, whose members have the stereotype of carefree
and wild people. This is because I was heavily inspired by
official government seals with the text on a path. This is also a
candidate for a T-shirt or sticker design and could work well
when distressed, which is a common theme with surfing
apparel.
Similar to the horizontal surfboard logo, this is a logo that I
believe to be a bit tall to be used effectively in documentation
such as forms and leaflets. However, I am not sure that this
logo would work on a T-shirt or other merchandise as it feels a
bit uninspired and basic.
