BCB10 is happening on 11th June at SAP Labs, Whitefield, Bangalore.

This time too, the organizers announced a logo competition and I submitted my design. As always, I tried NOT TO follow the standard BarCamp logo.

Following is my submission (Version 2.0):




Following are my own earlier version (Ver.1.0):




To know the story behind the logo design, read "Design – Logo for BarCamp Bangalore 10."

hi antzfx. i loved your logo for barcamp. but before I can say further, what is barcamp?

From Wikipedia:

BarCamp is an international network of user-generated conferences (or unconferences). They are open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants.

The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and were related to open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. The format has also been used for a variety of other topics, including public transit, health care, and political organizing.

The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, California, from August 19–21, 2005.

BarCamp has presence in Bangalore, Goa, Kerala...

Hey I loved this number! I loved the logo and all the collaterals you made around it. did you do it in individual capacity, or on behalf of an agency?

@Priyanka: It was a logo competition (non-profit) and I downloaded stock images to pitch the logo.

And, I didn't win as I couldn't get enough votes.


I am a 'freelancer' at the moment. I have a day job as UI Designer.

hey what do you need to study to be a UI designer? You must be an expert in CSS, HTML, AJAX etc?

Courses are:
Master in Design -- Interaction Design at IDC, IIT Bombay
Post Graduate Diploma -- Information & Interface Design at NID, Bangalore Campus

It depends on the company and their field (Mobile platforms, Web pages, Application) on whether you need to have programming knowledge or not. The important thing is visualizing workflows, solving problems and usability analysis. If you know HTML, CSS and Photoshop, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects -- you are good to go.

I must say that my skills are self acquired as I didn't have the chance to get a formal education in Interface Design. I mainly did "Watch, Read, Do and Learn." I love it!

good work. like your work and the way you open up the methodology. have you done a logo for the sake of art only.

The logos really stylish.
Design colleges like DSK and SID offer separate User-Interface Design courses too, but I think thats only ug.

nice logo antzfx! love it! its so good that you keep sharing your work with us...

@basant kumar, @shikharkamat and @Paromita -- Thank you for the encouraging words.

All the logo designs I do are for clients. I generally (there are exceptions) don't participate in competitions (No Spec!). Barcamp is a non-profit thing and in the past it has bought a lot of traffic to my websites. At the moment I have an idea for BCB11 logo!

UI designer is good fun! What do you need to know to be a UI designer?

The important thing is visualizing workflows, solving problems and usability analysis. If you know HTML, CSS and Photoshop, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects -- you are good to go.
