BarCamp Canterbury 2025 - Rebranding Brief
=======================

* [BarCamp Canterbury](https://barcampcanterbury.com/) - a free-to-attend community tech unconference
* https://barcampcanterbury.com/

* Goal: A logo redesign that captures barcamp canterbury's identity.
* Each BarCamp takes the original barcamp logo template and adds their own identity

* Other BarCamp Logo exemplars
* ![Original barcamp logo](http://barcamp.org/f/1226374475/barcamp_logo.png) template
* [BarCamps UK](https://barcamp.org.uk/)
* Logos of active barcamps in the uk
* ![BarCampOxford](http://barcamp.org/f/1273251365/barcamp_oxford_100.png) 2011
* Logo has silouette of oxford skyline
* ![BarCamp Beijing](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3186734726/798df67549a6a08f113e64b4dba98de3_400x400.png) 2015 [x.com](https://x.com/barcampbeijing)
* Logo is part the head of a dragon
* ![BarCamp Miami](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/139/350931611_b8ff6d2ac5.jpg) 2015 [](http://barcampmiami.org/)
* ![BarCamp Armenia](https://barcamp.am/images/logo.svg)
* Digital circitbord? colours of the Armenia flag?
* ![](https://media.am/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/barcamp11_0.jpg)
* ![](https://a1plus.am/static/articles/10/04/73/l-lFQZkilonR.jpg)
* [BarCamp London 12 X11](https://twelve.barcamplondon.org/)
* ![BarCamp London X11](https://twelve.barcamplondon.org/logo-purple.png)
* [BarCamp London 13](https://thirteen.barcamplondon.org/) returned to plain blue and white (because updating it each year is not feasible)

## Thematic Identifiers of a BarCamp

* Prototyping (hacking a solution together), building, making
* Tech, Innovation, emerging, digital, experimental
* Participation, community

## Canterbury Identifiers
* [Wikipedia: Canterbury Cathedral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_Cathedral)
* Central icon of the city
* ![]()
* [Canterbury Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_cross) Chaucer Cross
* ![Canterbury Cross](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Cantercross.svg/440px-Cantercross.svg.png)
* ![Canterbury Council Logo](https://www.canterbury.gov.uk/sites/default/files/logo.png)
* Cutout of canterbury cathedral
* [Wikipedia: Canterbury Westgate Towers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westgate,_Canterbury)
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Westgate%2C_Canterbury.jpg/600px-Westgate%2C_Canterbury.jpg)
* [Bulkhead Statue](https://rolandsragbag.wordpress.com/2016/10/24/the-man-in-the-iron-mask/)
* Each segment is cut from a different active seafaring ship
* [Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=canterbury+iron+face)


## Logo requirements

* We want
* Primarily "Identity"
* Logo (shape design)
* Colour palette (2 or 3 colours?)
* Typography guidelines
* Secondarily
* Guidance with website design, layout, idetenty, message and impact

* Logo
* Logo 1:1 (square)
* Logo + Text 4:1?
* Mono + 2(or3) colour version
* Logo: intended use
* Website (favicon) 1:1 small
* Website Banner 4:1?
* Cut into badges - used on lanyards?
* Website
* Single page (mobile responsive)
* Link Preview 2:1? (Logo and date of event?)


## Other considerations
* Can the logo be represented by a simple set of lines (e.g. cut into a badge? gradients may have to ommited in some versions)
* Can it be updated each year? Can a year be added to the logo and updated in an SVG?
* The current logo colour was chosen at almost random. It does not have to be ued, but could be to continue the legacy.

## Ideas
* Colours that come to mind
* Sandy yellow of the cathedral stonework
* Grey stone of wesgate towers and the city wall
*
