Project Description
Open Data Day is an annual event promoting awareness and use of open data, held simultaneously in cities around the world. In Japan, Open Knowledge Japan organizes it, with events in locations across the country.
The original request from Open Knowledge Japan was for a static logo for the event, but I proposed the concept and implementation of a dynamic logo instead. It was subsequently adopted officially and is now used for events held around the world.
As a tool, entering a city name generates a local logo with an original composition derived from the city’s name and latitude/longitude. The generated logo can be used for both print and web.
Project Role
Art direction, design, front-end coding, and data processing — all handled personally.
