Artist abby Obfenda created the winning logo for the 2022 Conference!
The PSLA Conference Committee and Board is please to have selected the winner of this year's conference logo contest.
Abby Obfenda is a rising junior at Moore College of Art and Design majoring in Graphic Design. She is from Elkins Park, Pennsylvania and loves art, music, and baking. In her spare time she likes to work on new projects, plays the piano, and spends time with her pet birds. She hopes to further her education and work to gain new opportunities for herself in the future.
For the last three years, Moore students have been invited to design a logo for the contest. This year, there were 30 entries from 12 students in Moore's sophomore level Type + Image class. They designed the logos for the 2022 PSLA conference theme "Beyond the Stacks." Obfenda's logo looks like a bookshelf, and features books, a cellphone and a magnifying glass and incorporates the colors green, teal, gold and fuchsia.
"I wanted to convey that libraries are becoming more than just a place for books," said Obfenda. "It's a place for people of all ages that is open for communication with others and a place to get information from a multitude of resources, whether it be digital or analog. I chose a color palette that would be fun and bold, reflecting the welcoming environment that libraries convey" (Armstrong).
A special thanks goes to our Logo Design Coordinator, Heather Pieros , and Moore College of Art and Design for organizing such a successful contest and partnership.
