Communication objective
The crux of the design is inspired by Washington Square Park. Motivated by the characteristics of the arch and water fountain in Washington Square Park, the Infinity logo is designed by using circular and linear shapes in conjunction with three pro-environmental colors used in typography. People can also participate in creating their own patterns, by using shapes of the circle and line on the website or via brochure. The patterns are varyingly applied to roadsides, the entrance of the park, and to the floor of the fountain.
Tools used
The design was created with the use of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
