NPCS Logo

The North Pocono Cultural Society (NPCS) hosted a contest in May 2023 for a new logo that would better identify the organization. In the contest's rules it stated that the new logo may be used on the NPCS website, social media sites, business cards, letterhead, posters, souvenir trinkets and gifts, or anywhere else NPCS chooses. I grew up in the North Pocono community and was a recipient of a NPCS Scholarship in high school. I created a logo design that followed their mission to create, support, and promote the Arts and educational enrichment in the greater North Pocono community. “Arts” is all encompassing: music, visual arts, theater, dance, etc. NPCS seeks to collaborate with the NP Community on all projects, and their ultimate goal is to raise funds for scholarships to NPHS students seeking advanced studies in the arts.

My design consists of the society's acronym (NPCS), but encompasses all areas of the "Arts" in iconography within each of the four letters. The N represents music, the P represents theater, the C represents visual arts, and the S represents dance. The lettering in the logo mark is all handwritten and spaced evenly for each letter to have enough negative space and is legible at a large and small scale. I complimented the logo mark with a simple sans serif font for professionalism and cleanliness. I added a simple tagline underneath "North Pocono Cultural Society" for more emphasis on who the organization represents. The logo can live in multiple different marks and layouts. I kept the color palette simple with a deep red and black to fit with our North Pocono community's typical style.

I received notice on June 12th that I won the contest, and my logo will be displayed at the Moscow Street Fair at the end of July for the community to see!
