Harlesden Town Team – Logo
May 17, 2010
I’ve designed a logo for the Harlesden Town Team forum group, I’d like your opinion on it!!
As some of you may be aware, Harlesden Town Team is an umbrella group for the various Residents Associations in the area, formed out of meetings conducted by Urban Design Skills and Brent Council. The main idea behind its formation is the need for LB Brent to have a one-stop organisation that understands and represents the residents of the area, whilst being independent of council itself, and broadly representative of the wider area, rather than specific streets. One of the short term aims is to secure funding of £3.5m from TfL to improve the urban realm in and around Harlesden.
If you have been involved in the workshops that took place to create the Harlesden Charter, then you are a member of the Harlesden Town Team!! There will be upcoming meetings to discuss the charter, and organise events in the area. Which will be advertised on this site.
With that in mind, I feel it is important for Harlesden Town Team to have an identity, when presenting documents, and campaigns.
I chose to incorporate the most prominent, well known landmark in the area, the Harlesden Jubilee Clock, as this is recognisable to most, if not all Harlesdenites. The colours used reflect those painted on most of the street furniture. I aimed to make it simple and yet distinct, I hope it achieves that.
I’d like to suggest this logo to be adopted by the organisation, however I know its not perfect so feedback would be very welcome, feel free to make comments.
Other designs are very much welcome.
