Every year Pride Magazine, a African American owned and operated publication in the greater Charlotte North Carolina area, holds a gala celebrating some facet of African American issues. In 2005 the theme was “Embracing Women”.
Pride Magazine needed a logo that reflected this theme. I wanted a mark that had the color of a celebration and warm feel while balancing the seriousness and integrity of the event. That was achieved with a strong use of bright color and placed around a high contrast image of a Afrocentric woman.
