State of the City Event, City of San José
When EGAD was first commissioned to provide graphic backbone to the 2019 event, it was to be for a typical one-shot happening at a formal location—but then the mayor wanted to do a series of four smaller, more laid-back events in different parts of the city, each focusing on a different topic. Then, it went back to the one big event. The four logos at top represent the aborted campaign of multiple events; the one at bottom represents the actual, final affair, praising the community’s selfless contributors.
