Visible|Queer is a entertainment company created to promote the visibility of LGBTQ issues. Some of the concerns that the company will have to consider are:

LGBTQ issues or queer issues are not accepted in mainstream society so funding and support of this brand will have to come from the market the company is targeting.

These issues are in direct conflict with all western religion.

The term Queer has in the past been characterized as negative and offensive. Some older LGBTQ people may take issue with the word queer.

out of the closet. The idea behind my company is providing a safe space for open discourse for queer issues

through entertainment. The goal of the company is to make queers and queer issues more digestible to the

mainstream public.

Laws of Shape and Color:The Visible|Queer logo follows the law of shape by maintaining a horizontal right to left viewpoint. The logo

utilizes a clear and easily readable typeface and also uses three distinct colors to aid in its readability.

The red color of ‘visible’ was meant to add a importance to the the word itself and ‘queer’ was done in black

because I didn't want the queer in the logo to distract. The ‘queer’ is meant to blend in, to suggest that

being queer is a non-issue. The idea is for the word queer to act as a descriptor but to not to confuse the

goal of our company, which is visibility for our issues.

Conceptual Logo:I like the simplicity in design behind this logo and the idea

that it uses both a pictorial element as well as a word-mark.

The pictorial adds a nice aesthetic element to the over all

logo and the tagline is also present. The elements don’t

overpower one another but work together to create a nice

balance. I also like this logo because it uses the closet/door

concept that I am using in my logo.

The Frameline logo is a simple horizontal word-mark

logo that follows the law of shape. The logo does not

have a pictorial image but uses various graphical

filters to make the logo look like it is being

projected against a film screen.
