When the team agreed on the team name Banary (Binary Canary), I created this logo as a proposal. This was made using Canva, which made it more visually limited compared to drawing by hand or using generative AI. The design consists of circles, half circles, and rectangles.

Despite my ability limitations, I tried to include several hidden meanings to the design elements. The color scheme is primarily black and white in parallel to the idea of binary, with the yellow to provide a visual contrast and make the bird more identifiable. The bird is in a cage, in reference to how canaries are kept in a coal mine. The bird, however, resembles rubber ducks, referencing their use in software debugging. Lastly, the binary numbers that make up the cage’s bars are 8 in length, representing ascii character bytes. In fact, the 6 characters spell out “BANARY”.
