Idea X – TomTod Ideas

The Challenge

Create a logo that would invoke thought in 8th grade students. A symbol that would mean something, but at the same time, could mean nothing at all. A symbol that would be both concrete and abstract at the same time, or neither of the two. An idea. The easy route would have been to create the expected “light bulb” icon. Easy… we don’t do easy.

The Solution

Where do ideas come from? They come from observations, conversations, deep thought or a day dream. Maybe it’s a thought jotted down on a scrap piece of paper… maybe, just maybe, the next big thing started out as a doodle. The Idea X doodle represents the next big idea. Who knows what it could be. But the idea started out as something… maybe a doodle?
