Christopher Raeburn is a responsible fashion designer based in East London, Stratford. Raeburn’s ethos is to create sustainable fashion pieces using the innovative approach of ‘RÆMADE, RÆDUCED, RÆCYCLED, and RÆBURN’ (RÆBURN. 2021). The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters, and ‘less than 1% of used clothing is recycled into new garments’ (worldbank.org. 2021). This creates considerable increases in global carbon emissions, massively impacting the effects of climate change. Raeburn reworks old garments and uses leftover fabrics to create new, functional pieces inspired by military and utilitarian clothing. Raeburn launched a collaborative, community project to share the true meaning and integrity behind sustainable living and his innovative approach to fashion. As a brand, ‘Raeburn’ is striving to path the way for new responsible designers and encourage communities across the world to live more sustainably, choosing more ethical approaches to everyday life and educating people on the side effects of fast fashion. Therefore, creating a healthier environment and reducing the damaging effects of climate change. Raeburn’s abstract logo incorporates the main elements unified throughout his brand’s identity. The iconic logo is an interpretation of a universal air force parachute. The crest contains four neutral colour segments with a webbed overlay, a bold outline, and the RÆBURN branding. The colours used in the emblem include orange, sand, white, and olive, which all relate to camouflage seen in his original idea of reworking old military clothing. The colours combined with his sustainability ethos could link to World War 2, Make Do and Mend, and rationing. The earthy colours express a sense of safety, whilst the webbing of the parachute suggests stitching, repair, and forming alliances. The A and E in the bold typography are overlapping, which imply being reworked and sewn together to create something new out of the old. Therefore, portraying his brand as sustainable, responsible, and honest. BaySixty6 is a non-profit skate park organisation based in North Kensington, London. Although many articles suggest this is not the case, Skate parks are typically stereotyped as a beacon for anti-social behaviour and problematic youths. ‘Young people make a significant contribution to the economic and social vitality of city centres in the UK, yet others often frown upon their presence and activities.’ (Skateboarding: The City as a Playground, 2021). BaySixty6 have many objectives including, providing a safe space for people of all ages to enjoy the urban sport, offering support for parents and schools in the local area and providing classes for overall self-improvement, including mental and physical health. In addition, they provide excellent opportunities for people most at risk of social exclusion and prevent anti-social behaviour in the community, therefore creating a safer environment for the public and breaking the stereotype. The BaySixty6 logo could be improved conceptually, as the design does not convey its goals to its audience. The emblem encompasses an interpretation of an umbrella with bold typography layered over the top. The thought process behind the new logo was to incorporate skateboarding and the community whilst also keeping aspects of the original logo. The original composition and typeface of the logo work well with the new concept. Keeping the typeface but adjusting it slightly has created a new effect. For example, the letter ‘Y’ in Sixty has been replaced with a V-sign representing youth and harmony across different communities. The V-sign was used as an offensive gesture in the past, but ‘In the 1960s, however, it was annexed by American, and later British, youth as the ‘Peace sign’,’ (V-sign, 2021). In addition, the skateboard has been merged with the 6 to make it more compact and illustrative whilst including the sport, overall creating a more exciting logo that conveys the organisation’s goals using imagery and typography as one.
