Day 120 - Graphic design project

I've vaguely mentioned it a few times already, but now that I have the OK to start showing it, I'll reveal what it is. Effective January 1, 2006, the College of Geosciences (which includes the School of Meteorology) at the University of Oklahoma will become the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences (A&GS).

My 'mysterious' graphic design project was to design the logo for the college. I hope many of you will see it in May, as this is the college I'll be graduating from.

It's in the "near final" stage right now, which means there's still time for a little tweaking. Any suggestions would be appreciated.



The official colors of the college are light ("Alice") blue and brown, so it'll probably have brown instead of the dark blue. It also may appear as just the seal with the words around the outside, kinda like the current Geosciences logo.

Part of the college will be housed in the National Weather Center. I also designed the National Weather Center logo (a couple years ago), which is how I got the opportunity to do this one.

Quite a lot happened today. I got some very big news about next semester, ran a full boundary layer model for the first time, almost finished a document for my dissertation, and played my worst badminton games ever. You're lucky this logo thing came up tonight. Otherwise I would've written about the anti-Bush global warming protest in London that I was given a flier for today.
