The logo was designed to reflect the style of both Self Help UK’ and Macmillan Cancer Support’s existing brand marks. I created logos for use across various media; online, print, stationery and also for use on promotional items. I worked with Self Help UK’s CEO and the Lead Project Manager for the Macmillan Deaf Cancer Support Service to create the design which incorporates the British Sign Language (BSL) hand gesture for ‘Support’ making the logo quickly accessible to the deaf community.

The Spark ✨

This logo was required to extend the reach of Macmillan Befriending Services into the Deaf community It was interesting working with the project lead who herself is Deaf. Working in a visual medium made the communication run smoothly. BSL sign language interpreters were also accessed so that we could communicate with greater fluency to achieve project outcomes.
