U Bike

U-Bike was a logo application project undertaken by me and my group of 3 others. Together we came up with the concept, design, and application for a logo for a fictional organization which we came up with. 

Our organization provides bikes to inner city children and teens from low-income families to ride bikes in warm weather. We named the organization ‘Ubike’ because of its literal meaning, to display that the bikes we offer are for ‘you’ to use (to the teens and the children.) While coming up with our CBO, we thought about our target audience and decided that the organization would be leaning towards the ages of 12-17 years old. The organization requires that the parents of the children pay a monthly fee for the use of our bikes. If the family cannot afford to pay the monthly fee, the alternate way rather than paying would be community service.

Research 

For our moodboard, we wanted to emphasize the feel of Ubike. The orange and blue colors are to give a feel of the Spring/Summer. The image of the city is to give a sense of the inner city feel. Picking the right type faces was tricky, because we want the letter ‘U’ to stand out as a Serif and to represent the handles of a bike, while the word ‘bike’ would be a Sans Serif. Mixing a Serif and Sans Serif need the right fonts because both need to contrast each other.   

Our logo evolved many times. Logos are one of the most, if not the most important aspect of a company’s brand. Even if we don’t mean to, we all judge a book by it’s cover. A logo can determine anything from how inviting color schemes are to customers to how the staff interacts. Without a solid logo, people can be untrustworthy of the company. 

A good logo must not only be pleasing to look at but it must be able to be applied to a variety of different mediums. The colors must work well together on any color background and must need to be able to translate well into black-and-white for certain applications. It must be readable small or large.

Below are some of our pre-compositions:

We wanted to keep our logo simple and limit it to two colors. We wanted to include a pictorial aspect to put on smaller applications like letterheads, mobile phone apps, and more. We took the bottom logo and refined it into its final version and came up with a wide aspect of applications we can use with it.

Book Cover

Yikes! Mushie Breakeroni

Sypnosis:  Miles Benson lives in small, sleepytown Riverview, Maryland with his small-knit group of friends. Between working after school flipping burgers at the local Burger Shop, homework piling up from AP classes, and being Vice President of his high school‟s newspaper club, Miles is quickly becoming burnt out. By far his favorite pastime is managing his „Ask Munshie‟ column in the school paper, Weekly Occurrences. Going by the penname Munshie Breakeroni, Miles reviews student submitted questions and posts them with silly, funny, and helpful answers. Most of the questions he receives are the usual, “How to avoid the school‟s awful cafeteria food?” or “Help! Me and my friend accidentally picked the same prom dress!” And then one day he receives a chilling inquiry: They told me if I don‟t deliver the pills, they‟ll come for me. I don‟t know where else to go. - Anonymous. Miles‟ entire world is thrown off axis as he attempts to uncover the identity of the person who submitted that question. His probing doesn‟t go unnoticed and soon he‟s being told at every turn by letters and emails sent from Anonymous persons to discontinue or face consequences. Not one to back down from a challenge, Miles vows to get to the bottom of things. And in doing so, he uncovers a sinister scheme that plagues the school and the entire town.

Research

Above are some of my favorite book covers. They are mostly YA novels because YA novels tend to have the most colorful, interesting, or eye catching covers to appeal to young adults and teens. And since my version of “Yikes! Mushie Breakaroni” is a YA thriller novel, I look at a wide range of genres pertaining to teens and picked my favorites. They are a mix of photographs, type and image, and type (although the type in “Everything, Everything” includes tiny images.)

One of the ideas I’ve had is to have the the title as a neon sign on the window of a fast food place. Of course, it would have to be type and image unless I could fine a way to get a neon sign designed and take a photo. I’m also inclined to use my skills as an artist for a portion, similar to the “Made You Up” watercolor style above.

I’ve added these movie posters because they are some of the few that have caught my eye, and if I ever saw one on a book, I’d most likely pick it up. Unlike the actual book covers above, these are minimalistic and use limited colors… yet it gets it’s concept across nicely. While the YA book covers are design to catch one’s eye, these remind me that it can also be clean and neat, yet just as powerful.

One of the aspects of my synopsis is that it takes place in a small town. This is important, because a big part of the book is that nobody suspects anything in a small town, yet this one in mystery, drama, and danger.

Because color will be a big part of portraying that mystery, I intend to use a dark, cool color palette: Greens or dark greens for the forest that surrounds the town, Purples, blues, and blacks for the nighttime/danger aspect.

My first set of rough thumbnails were based on photo, type and image, and type only.

Keeping my thumbnails in mind, I decided to use my sketchbook for bigger and more detailed thumbnails. This is what I came up with:

  For my preliminary comps, I chose two thumbnails from my sketchbook and one from the smaller thumbnails on the separate piece of paper and refined them. I have book covers based on type only, type and image, and image only :

My favorites of the three was the first (type only) and third (photo) but the most fun to make was by far the third. With feedback I edited it  for my final design. One of the changed I made was the picture itself. The one used in the preliminary comp had ink lines that could be distracting to the viewer so I found a better picture without the lines. I also changed the positioning of the words to be easier to read.
