Fifth International Conference on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology

 

 

The MacDiarmid Institute organizes an International Biennial Conference that offers a broad interdisciplinary overview of advanced materials and nanotechnology, and provides an exciting forum to discuss new and exciting advances in the field.

 

The logo for this event had to depict the fact that the conference was taking place in New Zealand. It also had to include the concept of nanotechnology and/or advanced materials, which are the main areas in which the conference focuses on.

In order to address these requirements, the proposed solution had a representation of New Zealand created by organic forms, round, curvaceous elements that seem to meld together for a specific purpose. The repetition of these elements can then devise organized structures, by which, the concept of having advanced materials or nanotechnology has been achieved.

Applications of logo and secondary elements on assorted

conference materials. This part of the project was undertaken

by the conference organizers.

This is a logo I created a few weeks back for an entity within Stanford University that focuses their research in kids. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly which Department was in charge of this project but it might be the Neonatal and Developmental Medicine within the School of Medicine if I'm not mistaken. In any case, the idea was to develop a logo that fell in line with the Stanford seal. 

The color used isn't the official Cardinal (Pantone 201) but that can be fixed at the time of printing. I'm really impressed that you can easily find the Design Guidelines within the Stanford website. It can be a nightmare trying to find official emblems or logos for presentations, posters, etc within some universities.

Bent Eyewear

Talk about kiwi ingenuity! New Zealanders are always proud about the fact that they can come up with any solution to a problem by just using number 8 wire. Well, this case is not far from this same statement. When a pal of mine became bored with the fact that he could only find the same old boring sunglasses, he decided to make his own. He won't be sporting the same pair as other thousands of people are wearing, his will be unique.

Correy Wyatt actually makes each pair of sunglasses by hand, painstakingly bending the wire precisely into the shape that he has previously envisioned. The results are amazing! Not only are they a piece of art, but they are functional art and they are unique. No pair is exactly the same to any other. I'm quite happy to say that Correy asked for my help to come up with a logo for his new brand of eyewear. He'll be sending some designs to the United States in an attempt to position them in the US market.

I believe that the name of the brand really says everything, Bent eyewear, just simple and to the point!
