I need to identify this logo!

June 6, 2008 2:51 PM

Logo search, can you help me find this logo?

Its basically a star, the star is made out of five or so stylized "people", where each person is a dot for a head and then a v or checkmark for the arms, which make up the star.

That is all.

does this qualify? I know it's not QUITE what you said, but...?

Its close.

The one I am thinking of is much more abstract and most people wouldn't see that it was stylized people with their hands outstretched unless it was pointed out to them.

We had a graphic designer give us 13 choices for our new logo and I SWEAR about 4 of them are from non profits that I can't quite place, they may even be just clip art.

Is this it? It's from the Special Olympics.

If you think it's clipart, the place to search would be istockphoto with your search limited to the Illustration category.

Believe it or not, themes like this are common in logo design. Head to a bookstore and look at a few volumes of David Carson's Big Book of Logos collections.

I think you mean David E. Carter. Not David Carson.
David Carson doesn't care about other people's work. Just his. Snap.

Right, my bad. Carter's the one.

Common indeed. What you described sounds a lot like the recently re-designed logo for the Province of Ontario, Canada... except that instead of a star, it's a flower (a trillium).

Thanks everyone! none of them are exact, but close enough to illustrate (hah) that it is not a particularly "deep" design.
