Identity Design for Swayam

My education, My choice

ABOUT PROJECT
The MHRD project was routed through Prof. Deepak B. Phatak, from the Department of Computer Science and Engg, IIT Bombay. The requirement was to design a unique logo/symbol and brand guidelines for the launch of the online education portal Swayam for India.

Design process:

Sharing the design process video for everyone's benefit. The video showcases the design process of the Swayam symbol by translating the brainstormed keywords into visual elements. The symbol and the logo were presented to the MHRD ministry. However, it was not implemented. Later, after a few years it was done by someone else and here is the new logo
