Clarendon Fund

I won the competition to design a logo for the Clarendon Fund, a source of funding for international graduate students at the University of Oxford. Thinking about various arrangements of initials and various distinctive Oxford images I decided on the roof of the Hawksmoor-designed Clarendon Building, the first home of the University Press. The Earl of Clarendon lent his name to the building by partly funding its creation; in so doing he indirectly gave his name to the Fund three hundred years later. I drew the logo in freehand and it was mocked up by designers within the University. The logo shows statues of five of the nine Muses.
