Here’s a holiday commission for a non-profit organization’s logo.
The organization is currently seeking funding and support to be officially recognized and the conceptual creator of the project asked me to create an image with the proposed logo (which I also designed). Here however is a painting of a much more detailed variation of the logo, to be used as a possible poster background/flyer for the organization.
The group’s aim is to help support teens and young adults (primarily in the grade school setting) who are dealing with stressful situations. Intended as a collective of information and contacts for support groups, crisis hotlines, youth counseling, etc.
Started by a teenage girl who while dealing with a lot of stress in her own life, would write HOPE on her hand. One day she saw another teenager having a really bad day and gave her a fist bump, the other teen saw the message on the fist and smiled. Hope was shared by a simple gesture of compassion. That is what the base ideal of the group is, and hopefully they’ll get their funding together and make it a recognized face of people to help youths in need.
As an added gift, beyond the logo design, I had this image printed as a laptop skin for the group creator, as a way to show what the future can be for both themselves and for the organization as long as people believe in the idea.
Wish them luck in their pursuit of helping others. Will be checking in on the progress of their goals as well as seeing if I can help out further along the way.
