The catch \u2013 each team only had 8 hours to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the teams were established, representatives from each\nof the three organizations spoke to the teams about their design goals and\nprovided background information on each of their respective organizations. Then,\nthe teams broke off to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brittny\u2019s team was the collaborative effort of 5 designers. After\nquick introductions, they discussed the design brief that they were given and concluded\nthat they needed to create a logo system that would work collectively for the 4\nbrands; CC, CSG, CFJN, and UACC. They did not want to solely think about the Cultivate\nCharlottesville logo, but about a system that worked interchangeably across the\nfour organizations that would also establish a hierarchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first concept the team came up with was a recognizable container\nthat could be filled with textures, colors and images. With that in mind, the\nfills used with the container could successfully be changed based on the\nsituation. This would allow for more creativity while still establishing a memorable\nicon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"892\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01.jpg 892w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01-537x301.jpg 537w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01-115x63.jpg 115w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-01-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"892\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02.jpg 892w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02-537x301.jpg 537w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02-115x63.jpg 115w, https:\/\/conversionpipeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Blog-Graphics-02-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The system consisted of interchangeable boxes that resembled\nraised planter boxes and the varying acronyms of each organization.

However, they still wanted to be able to differentiate\neach organization better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the feedback given, the team got back to work on a second concept.
