This was a quick logo design for a cool research initiative sponsored by the Council on Library and Information Resources. The Hub for AI Research in Archives (HAIRA) is an interdisciplinary effort to equip archival researchers with cutting edge computing tools.
The brief for the logo was to keep the design tethered to the humanities, and play with a particular glyph from the Bassa language from central Africa. The glyph roughly corresponded to the letter "A" for A.I.
