Continuous Use

submission by lifeguardlarry

Describe your design

Reuse is a continuous process. In my design this is represented by the oval and arrows. There are many steps along the way for a reusable object which are represented by the sides of the hexagon with the object represented in the middle.

One question facing designers in this competition was how much they wanted to reference the existing recycling symbol in their entry. In my design, it's obvious that I wanted to create something different and here's why. As a recycling professional, I get a lot of confused questions about just what it means if a person sees the chasing arrows of the recycling symbol: in the case of receptacles, does it mean that all recyclable items can be put in; in the case of items, does it mean that they can be recycled anywhere? I felt like in designing my logo, I didn't want people to think something along the lines of,"when did they change the recycling logo." So mine is different. I hope you'll consider voting for it.
