LAVIC - Logo

LAVIC (Los Angeles Violence Intervention Coalition) and they are a part of the Urban Peace Institute. As the country reimagines what a broader, more comprehensive public safety system looks like, it must ensure these new federal funds support Los Angeles’ brave peacemakers. Peacemakers act as essential violence prevention and intervention workers in Los Angeles’ most underserved communities. Gang intervention has a demonstrated track record of reducing gun violence and saving lives. By keeping the peace on the streets of Los Angeles, violence intervention workers also prevent unnecessary costs associated with the criminal justice system.

I was commissioned to create a logo that showed unity within the community. They wanted to use yellow and blue and as the core colors to represent happiness and trust.
