Senior visual communication design major Jordan Edgar, '23, is the creator of the logo for Homeslice Pizzeria, Kent State鈥檚 newest dining location.
Edgar is a student multimedia designer for University Housing and Culinary Services and was asked to design the logo for Homeslice. Before beginning the design process, Edgar knew she wanted to create a logo that would match the environment of the Kent Student Center and incorporate elements of a pizza restaurant.
鈥淔or colors, we wanted to use red and green that would match the theme of a pizza place,鈥 she said.
Edgar also wanted to use a stucco pattern that matched a wall for the logo's background, but she realized the color would match the bricks in the Kent Student Center.
鈥淲e eventually decided on using a cracked and plastered background that would match a wall you would see in a variety of places,鈥 she said.
For the final elements of the logo, Edgar wanted to incorporate a sauce spread that resembles the process of making a pizza.
She is proud of the work she has done and is excited that it can be shared with others.
鈥淚t鈥檚 cool to see something that I created come to life and that people have the opportunity to experience it,鈥 Edgar said.
