Thanks ideoma! More info about the mission here: http://www.szymonkowalczyk.com/aktualny-projekt
Although it's in Polish, you can watch a short clip made by Polish teenagers.

nitish.b said on Jun. 08 '10

^now that you mention it so can i...

raja said on Jun. 08 '10

conceptually and artistically the mark is so strong

OcularInk said on Jun. 08 '10

The mark is nice...especially after you notice the books. The type needs work though, in my opinion. Is it just me, or is the C too thick and doesn't seem to match the other letters?

vernics said on Jun. 08 '10

Mark is so conceptual.

jaggu said on Jun. 08 '10

So nice! Didnt see the books either at first. love it even more now.

ah man! so great!

koma said on Jun. 08 '10

bangin!

Mad Skimo said on Jun. 08 '10

This one is great! But at first sight I thought it was a zeebra like mark. Once you can see the books it makes more sense.

Lovely Mark!

I LOOOOOOOOVE this logo. Edgy, modern and it's clear!

dan-designs said on Jun. 08 '10

I'm glad you like it! As for the font, I agree it is the biggest disadvantage of this logo, however, the logo will also support other missions in other parts of Africa so I had to plan for it too.
All of the images were placed intentionally:
The Continent: this is the most clear and obvious element
Teenager face: Teenager is looking up, asking for help or praying (The mission is supported by the Catholic Church).
Books: They symbolize education and point to the targeted region.
Zebra stripes: The mission is also a great adventure for those who help and is very rewarding.

great job!

rambal said on Jun. 10 '10

nice job

nrcreative said on Jun. 10 '10

Agreed with @saha - looks nearly identical, and that poster was designed in '07

dan-designs said on Jun. 10 '10

Yes, it's similar to the poster from 2007, however, I took the inspiration from a different source. Initially, I designed the continent with the elephant shape included in it. This concept obviously didn't match the idea of the mission, in which adventure aspect is the least important, so I redesigned the mark replacing the elephant with the human face. I've seen the poster before submitting the logo and I think the similarity is acceptable. What's your opinion?

idil said on Jun. 20 '10

Does look similar. Great execution.

max409 said on Jul. 04 '10

nice :)

spunes said on Jul. 26 '10

This is a fantastic piece no matter where the inspiration came from. With billions of people one person won't be the only to see a face in Africa's shape. The fact that you manage to work in FOUR different concepts into one logo is brilliant.

Amazing and creative work mate ; )

Unique Design said on Jul. 28 '10

It's absolutely perfect. Like it very much! So sad your mission didn't work! :(

dan-designs said on Jul. 29 '10

Thanks again for your comments. I hope that next year the mission will succeed. If not I'm willing to adapt this logo for another charity organization.
