9.8.2021 is National Women's Day. I wanted to use this data and share a respect for one great woman. Nina Simone was a warrior, a big woman who lived in very complicated times for women. In 2003, after her death, her daughter Simon established a fundraising under her name. We worked on the logo for the Nina Simone Foundation. Designing a logo, working on brand identity is always is one of the biggest challenges within the graphic design world.

Based on her iconic image, we have designed a logo that follows her sarong facial structure. During that time, the tracing options of images were less than today, and to be able to create a vector structure, we had to use the pen tool in Illustrator and walk through dot by dot.
