My first project in Graphic Design 1 was to design three logos. One of them were to represent your personality, something unique about yourself. The second was to symbolize the meaning of your name. The third was a monogram using your initials. I’m no good with symbols, and I had a lot of trouble with the assignment. The meaning of my name—Christine Mørck Røde—is respectively “follower of Christ” or “savior”, “dark”, and “red.” I wasn’t about to do anything relating to Christianity, which left me with “dark red.” And how the fuck do you create a symbol representing a color? In the end, I ended up interpreting “dark” to mean evil, and red to mean…. well, a red panda. The result can be seen above. This is the only one of my logos I am satisfied with, although it could use some refining. The symbol was hand-drawn, hand-inked and then scanned in—no Illustrator.
