I received in the mail a package containing a letter notifying me that I was recognized as a winner for the Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) 2008 American Graphic Design Awards for a logo I designed for a friend. Also included was an Award Certificate of Excellence.
According to the letter I received, GDUSA has sponsored national design competitions that spotlight areas of excellence and opportunity for creative professionals. The American Graphic Design Awards is the biggest and broadest of these open to everyone in the community. They saw 10,000+ entries and of these, only 15% are recognized with an Awards Certificate of Excellence.
Here is my entry I submitted that fetched me this prestigious award.
My main objective was to create a logo that makes flight instruction fun yet retains the importance of structure and precision. I created an icon using the first letter of her name and some simple shapes to create the shape of an airplane. The stacked name creates a solid structure and strengthens the logo. The dark blue represents the sky, professionalism, and calmness.
