Design Process

MEIE Students Union connect students and teachers by holding activities. I believe the branding design is to service those three parts. However, I did not decided the design direction by traditional mood board, I did the deduction by emoji! Because emoji is abstruct, which suits an abstruct logo with many meanings.

Concept: Positive Minings

The design has many positive meanings, which strong the spritry of the student union.
Four Leaf Clover Flower: Love, health, glory and riches. which shows the best wish to students.
Gear: Most of the students are major in engineering.
Opening Book: Students have to emphasis the importance of learning forever.

Concept: Art With Science

In the design, I fully apply the theory of Fibonacci curve, which describes the perfect golden ratio in the nature mathematically. I polished the every element for a long time, and finally make them in the rule of golden ration, which is full of rational beauty as well as perceptual beauty. It is welcomed and believed by everyone. Moreover, it has feelings of symphony and development.
I choose “Source Han Sans” as the typeface, the present of which is simple construction and some humanistic feeling, Which is of highly identity and some serious. Moreover the type is open source which is full of sharing spirit. The Typeface is deeply suit the logo and the spirit of MEIESU.

Concept: Hands to Hands, Hearts to Hearts!

On the left is the logo of our school. On the right is the logo of the student union. These two signs need to have strong ties, so that the two signs can be associated with each other.
The meanings parallel with each other, the two logos have a same composition. People connect them easily.

The origin is the beginning of all things. It is the most basic element that makes up the world. It is also our original heart. It implies endless possibilities of inspiration and infinite development of micro-inspiration. In the coming days, the micro-tide will not forget the beginning of the heart and move forward.

Concept: Connection

The points move into lines and the lines move into faces. The dots around the marks represent each push of micro-thoughts. Dots surround the heart-shaped body, cycle around, cycle indefinitely, and symbolize the inexhaustible driving force of micro-waves. In addition, the combination of the dots and the heart-shaped subject, the virtual reality, makes the picture rich and vivid, symbolizing the micro-tide, and symbolizing the youthful vitality of the electromechanical man.
