Although bright, the true centerpiece of this design is the spiral pattern that I used throughout. Drawing a parallel between the natural and artificial worlds, I have juxtaposed a seashell with a rendered spiral, and this juxtaposition creates the sense of discovery but also of creation. When you see it, you are meant to be inspired to go out and find something new in the world, just what the conference is meant to promote.
