Pye Barker Fire & Safety
In the Winter of 2023, I was appointed to a team of 18 students to ideate and design a fresh logo for Pye-Barker Fire and Safety.
Ultimately, the Pye-Barker team decided upon a logo not listed here. The following document outlines my personal takes and contributions to the design challenge.

My Solution
Getting Started
When we met with the Pye-Barker team, they gave us a few guidelines to keep in mind as we began work.
Unify the Philosophy
As an acquisition-based company, Pye Barker wanted to honor its constituent entities and their unique qualities.
Respect the Legacy
Pye Barker sought an up-to-date solution to an outdated logo; however, they wanted to ensure the company’s key values, as well as their rich history, were preserved.
Know the Audience
Pye Barker self-identified as a blue collar company; they wanted to maintain this image and remain approachable to clients.

The logos of some of Pye-Barker's constituent entities

Keeping with the legacy, the Pye-Barker team requested that we use their established brand colors.


The Pye-Barker team mentioned that the logos for Allstate and John Deere provided a sense of integrity and relatability that they aspired to have in their logo.
