Sydney Chavan
Hi. My name is Sydney Chavan and I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and dog enthusiast from Northern California. I focus on creating inclusive art that not only inspires its audience, but also brings positive energy into the world via branding designs, illustrations, and comics. I graduated from Cornish College of the Arts in 2018 with a BFA in Graphic Design.
Uptown Logo Statement:
The concept behind this logo was creating something that illustrates all of the pieces of Uptown that make it distinct. Using a system of symbols that represent different areas of the neighborhood, the logo works as a modular, animated icon or as a stationary, definitive statement piece. Combining old Art Deco inspiration with modern day techniques, this logo is timeless and unique, just like Uptown.

I have always enjoyed creating things for other people and graphic design allows me to do so. It is a medium in which I can bring concepts to life and create visuals that connect and enhance people’s experiences.
Uptown logo statement:
This logo encompasses human quality of the Uptown, creating a sense of welcome and personal connection through a friendly face. It also represents people in the arts, like theater performances, dance, or music. It is a mascot—a face of the neighborhood.
Seattle Sims
Hello, I’m Seattle Sims I’m a current Design student at Cornish College of the Arts with a focus in motion graphics. With my design work, I like to create educational graphics about the ecosystem and the human body.

Uptown is vibrant, creative, and inclusive. This logo is inspired by a brush stroke and music Tabs. Each line represents creativity, community, humanity and how all these elements work together in harmony. This logo is paired with a custom typeface fit for Uptown.
