Website (Daranet) Icon Design

Visual Communication Design
Daramalan College - Year 11
At Daramalan College a design icon competition was held to gain an icon for the school鈥檚 student website, 鈥楧aranet鈥 where currently the icon is the school logo. My design for the icon was greatly inspired by the original Daramalan College eagle (seen in figure 1). The eagle is a necessary addition to the icon because it鈥檚 one thing that represents Daramalan College since 鈥淪trong in Faith鈥 or 鈥淔ortes in Fide鈥, the latin phrase, is our motto and strength and faith is represented by the wedge-tailed eagle. My design doesn鈥檛 look the same as the original eagle that鈥檚 seen in figure 1 but I wanted to create somewhat of a similarity. I aimed for a minimalistic look because it seems to be taking over a lot of logos and icons in the present day and I think I achieved that goal because there aren鈥檛 any fine details. From the original Daramalan College eagle I included a close representation to the head of the eagle, along with the wing design. It does look a bit more compressed since the original eagle is quite long. Red and Black, along with white, had to be used because they are the school colours and without it, it wouldn鈥檛 be a 鈥楧aranet鈥 icon. The triangle that鈥檚 seen at the rear end of the body of the eagle is the representation to the wedge-tail of a wedge-tailed eagle. Finally, the 鈥淒鈥 inside of the wing represents the 鈥淒鈥 in Daranet, so it creates a connection to the websites name.
