3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

4 INSPIRATION This proposal comprises of a re-brand of the Wendy Gibbs School of Ballet dance school that I have attended since I was nine years old. Dance is something I hold very close to me as it has allowed me to express my feelings both physically and mentally. Dance is a performance art form, and is an expression of feelings, symbolism and movement. Rhythm and dance have been closely linked in practice and history and is an infinite source of movement. The figure 8 symbol symbolizes infinity, and represents 8 different dance styles the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance offers to its students. page 4

5 BEHIND THE CONCEPT The circular concept reflects the binary of the versatility of movement as well as its free flowing nature of dance. The figure 8 symbol can be linked to the infinity symbol that reflects never ending possibilities, as well as a reflection of the 8 various dance styles the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance has to offer. This design concept is a dynamic identity that holds a systematic process for identification, as each style of dance has its own unique colour that is individually painted. Due to the concept s infinite nature, every sub icon is different yet still holds a system of recognition and structure. Each dance style is reflected through the circular objects to create the infinity or figure 8 symbol. These icons are diverse within themselves and display a dynamic system that constantly vary in size, yet still reflect the overall logo design, page 5

6 LOGO EQUITIES

7 PRIMARY LOGO The primary logo is used to represent Wendy Gibbs School of Dance as this dynamic identity carries the notion of movement. This configuration can be manipulated through a range of forms and colour layering that can still be recognized by its audience. WEN DY GIB BS page 7

8 POSITIVE/ NEGATIVE Positive and negative versions of the logo design illustrate the versatility of positive and negative methods that can be applied to design. These methods allow a highlight of colour that the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance design implements with each dance style, especially when used in conjunction with photography. WEN DY GIB BS page 8

11 TYPOGRAPHY The typography used in the primary logo as well the body copy used in promotional material is Brandon Grotesque. This font was influenced by the geometricstyle sans serif faces that were popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The idea of circular patterns can be related to the figure 8 symbol that holds two geometric symbols that are linked together. The notion of infinity is carried throughout the circular identity. Brandon Grotesque holds a functional look that is thin yet holds black weights as its small x-height that restrains its form however provides a distinctive elegance that style of dance can reflect.
