I chose to create a logo for principle 8, “Integrate Rather Than Segregate”. My plan for this logo was to create a design that displays inclusion in an easily recognizable way. In nature, integration is of extreme importance. Integrating nature and urban development together is a vital necessity in creating a balanced environment. Another example of integration in nature would be that of integrating specific groups into one in order to create a unified society. I think that tech needs integration to be more humane. Integrating certain elements into tech, such as nature, would make a huge difference. Spending time outside and in the sun is proven to ease the strains of some mental illnesses, it would be great if we could integrate more technology with our environment outside for the sake of our mental health. I think that a simple phrase like “Integrate don’t segregate!” would help people remember it better, it is very easy to say and it rhymes.

The logo I created is of two hands reaching together for a handshake, I chose this simple design because it shows two elements coming together and creating something new like the new color shown in the logo.
