A Very Special Orchestra is a logo for a non-profit that takes special needs kids and teaches them to play music using percussion instruments.
Because the children use mostly their hands to make music, the logo focuses on a child's hand. The hand also has a treble clef intertwined into the palm to highlight the music aspect of the organization. The top of the clef becomes the ring finger, which represents the love and dedication of the people involved.
Purple is utilized to represent devotion and grace. It's a soft and soothing color that projects friendliness and trust. The two horizontal lines further communicate the musical aspect of the organization.
The type is roughly the same thickness as the line art in order to keep the logo visually cohesive. The typeface is also rounded in order to project safety as well as visually tie into the line art.
