Creative Ecosystems. Connecting identities
Creative Ecosystems is a challenging concept to describe (they've even compiled a whole FAQ about it). Essentially, it's an online catalog of creative collectives featuring talented individuals of color.
- The spring-like shape is a brilliant idea. The creators describe it as follows: “The monogram embodies energy and potential through its spring-like shape, while also signifying intersectionality: the power of multiple forces or identities converging in a single form.”
- In the intersections of “C” and “E”, there are overlaps, making it easier to distinguish the spring into two letters (the overlaps in the loop of “E” are weaker). A similar softening of corners was seen in Naomi Osaka's logo — perhaps it's becoming a trend.
- This style of “E” construction has been appearing more frequently, but this is the first instance I've encountered where it's justified not just by aesthetics but also by meaning.
