Homeless publication logo ideas




This is some of my initial development for what the logo to my publication could look like. I have tried to look at some different colours, the colours are fairly bright my thinking here is i would like the text to be quite high contrast to contrast with the images I would like to use, images by the photographer Lee Jeffries, the pictures are all black and white.
