UAP CCD Logo Design Contest Entries

Entry No. 1

My logo design concept is "Familiarity and Oneness". Using the UAP logo for visual familiarity and adding CCD as the new service offered by the organization. Therefore achieving UAP and CCD combined in singularity and harmony.
Colors were chosen, aside from the concept of familiarity, from its psychological effect. Red for determination and blue for professionalism thus when combined creates high impact to viewers

Entry No. 2

The main concept of my logo proposal is the “stairs”. It symbolizes the stages or levels of development of an individual or an institution. For me as a graduate of Architecture, I know I have to go through some stages like trainings, experiences and massive amount of additional knowledge in order for me to have A higher potential to reach my career’s goal. The letters CCD forms the stairs and the tail of the “D” (2 vertical swoosh in blue and red pointing forward) serves as the “door of success”. The circles behind the CCD represent the light that leads to the stairs serving as a guide in every step. The title Center for Career Development placed above symbolizing the institution paramount goal. The United Architects of the Philippines is in the lower right to symbolize its support to CCD. Basically, I borrowed the colors and style/font of my logo proposal to the current logo of UAP not to pirate the UAP logo but to show the connection between the two. In this way, even just by seeing the logo of CCD without the UAP text, it can still be noticed easily its affiliation to the UAP.
