The Challenge: To create a brand that will represent Toronto, the people of the world, and also convey the energy and excitement in one identity. My theme 'Connecting to Create' focuses on how putting innovation and individuality together allows us to grow and create for the world.
The Solution: The fingerprint in the background represents every individual, and how each of us create and add to the world we live in. Inspired by Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam', I drew the human hand and robot hand close to touching but not quite, leaving a sense of tension and interest. The human hand represents now, and the robot hand symbolizes the future and where we are headed.
I was very fortunate to be able to to present this work to the Toronto Expo committee with the rest of my class at the Toronto City Hall in December 2013. Special thanks to Zab Hobart, and Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam.
