Hillsborough College

When Hillsborough College dropped "Community" from their name, they needed a logo that honored their roots while signaling a bold new direction. Inheriting a stalled project from another agency, we moved quickly. I crafted the interlocking letterforms that communicate movement and connection, with a curved crossbar that quietly references their hawk mascot. The mark balances innovation with community at its core. The result was featured in the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

PROCESS

My process began with word mapping - unpacking concepts like community, growth, and movement to inform the visual language the mark needed to carry. From there I explored broad shapes and forms that embodied these ideas and narrowed them into more refined letterform combinations. What’s shown here is a small selection from over 100 sketched concepts, each testing a different approach to connect the “H” and “C” in form movement and visual balance.
