Design – Logo for Barcamp Bangalore 9 (BCB9) and Barcamp Kerala 9 (BCK9)

August 24, 2010 Anas K A Logo Design

‘Nine’
‘A cat has nine lives!’
‘Eveready logo’
‘Nine planets… Err, now Pluto is no longer a planet!’
‘Cloud No.9’
‘…’
Barcamp Bangalore 9 (‘BCB9’) is happening on 18-Sep-2010. They are conducting a logo competition. I was brainstorming for a logo idea.

‘Talk of the town’
Much later, from the phrase ‘talk of the town,’ I came up with the above logo. Base of the design is a ‘9’ in Century Gothic font. The appearance of ‘9’ is changed so that it looks like a single quotation mark that represents ‘communication.’

A speech bubble is incorporated into the design that contains the BarCamp logo. The placement of the elements is manipulated in such a way that ‘Bangalore’ on the logo is speaking about BarCamp. Clearly ‘the talk of the town!’

Following is an attempt on the branding of BCB9. Click on the images for a larger view.

This option with a green tint and a different placement, size of elements is later replaced with the current version.

The results of BCB9 logo competition are announced today and I didn’t win. Thanks to all the people who voted for my design.
And, congratulations to Soujanya Sreenath, the winner!

Update on 21-Sep-2010: BarCamp Kerala 9 — BCK9

BarCamp Kerala Edition 9 is happening on 14-Nov-2010 at Amrita Campus, Karunagapally. Thanks to the organizers of BCK9, they adopted a reworked version of this BCB9 logo.
