I am incredibly proud to reveal my latest design project for the Faculty of Pharmacy at Mansoura University. Creating an identity for the Clinical Students Union (CSU) was an opportunity to design a symbol that represents leadership, pharmaceutical excellence, and student unity within one of the most vital faculties on campus.
The Design Concept: Science Meets Community
For the CSU logo, I wanted to balance traditional pharmaceutical symbols with a modern, energetic look that reflects a dynamic student body.
The Bowl of Hygieia: At the center of the design, integrated within the letter "C," is the Bowl of Hygieia with the serpent. This is the international symbol of pharmacy, representing the medicinal power of the profession. I chose a vibrant red for the serpent to make the "C" (for Clinical) truly pop against the dark background.
Student Unity: Within the curve of the letter "U" (for Union), I integrated two stylized golden figures with their arms raised. This represents the vitality, teamwork, and success of the students who make up the union.
The Circular Crest: Encasing the design in a clean white-and-navy circular frame gives it an official, collegiate feel. I included two golden stars to signify excellence and high standards.
Color Palette: The combination of navy blue, gold, and white was chosen to convey a sense of professionalism, trust, and academic prestige.
Branding for the Next Generation
A student union needs a logo that works across everything from official documents to t-shirts and social media. By keeping the central "CU" monogram bold and clear, the identity remains recognizable even from a distance.
