Escola Prática de Polícia

Logo designed for the Police Training School in Portugal.

This involved some research work. I was looking into illustrating the school values. Ended up with the following elements and their respective meaning:

• Shield – defense weapon;
• Book – culture;
• Laurel twigs – intellectual merit;
• Star – police;
• Sword – power of knowledge;
• Ribbon – name of the institution.

I prepared two different versions – with and without the shield. Did several colour and symbol/typography arrangement tests too.
