While exploring the possibilities of the Logo, I created a set of rules and interfaces that made it possible to generate customized logos for each speaker. These logos were created based on recorded sound waves, In this case, with my own voice. Additionally, I did designing, planning, and printing all the accompanying collateral materials, including a comprehensive brand identity manual in a printed format.

CYCLE OF TALKS
What is it that is cyclic and uses "frequencies"?The mechanism in compact cassettes looks like a loop, and the roller in them looks like a ruler, a core asset for design

CYCLE OF TALKS
I tried to relate talks or communication with my core keyword "frequencies". What do our local and global networks look like?

GLOBAL NETWORKS
By visualizing 1 and 2, geographic coordinates, meridians, and parallel lines thoughts came through.

GAN I GET A GRID?
The globe in step 3 and the ruler from step 1 made me realize that I could do a circular grid.

CIRCULAR GRID CONCEPT

A combination between a globe of meridians, geographic coordinates that resemble a radar.

FROM CONCEPT TO FINAL SYSTEM

I realized that instead of measuring geographic coordinates, I should be measuring sound propagation, because it relates with the core keywords "frequencies" and "communication". I revolved a recorded wave of me saying "Ciclo de Conversas" to make it look circular.

THE ALPHABET COORDINATES

By exploring the idea of coordinates, I've distributed letters on the diameter of "Cycle of Talks" recorded previously.

THE ALPHABET

Every character of the alphabet was recorded with my voice. The wave length was revolved, producing circles with different diameters.

RULES ON THE GRID

1 - Every circle is centred on the respective letter, in the alphabet grid.

2 - Only the intersection inside the alphabet grid and the sound wave are kept.

3 - If there are more than one sound wave inside the alphabet grid, only their Intersection are kept

4 - Each circle was assigned to a colour from the spectrum related to it’s frequency
