According to Bell (2017), the colors can “create a mood, expand, or contract.” For Caleb-Nicholson’s logo, she decided to use the color black because the color always adds a sense of togetherness and sleekness. Caleb-Nicholson opted out of using brighter colors because she wanted her logo to look as clear and concise as possible. For her font, Caleb-Nicholson used TAN Pearl for her initials and full name; and Buongiorno Rastellino for the cursive writing within each initial. Line is defined as “a direction – a major part of composition” (Bell, 2017), so to add a little excitement, each name writing in cursive is rotated and aligned vertically. Vertical lines represent “strength, height and pride” and Caleb-Nicholson has shown throughout her college career her resilience to push forward as obstacles have continuously been thrown her way.
