Autism logos: research & design

Last updated on February 23, 2021

Before we launched our new website on August 8, 2018,[1]The new website is live! | Embrace ASD we did market research in autism organizations and their logos.

Research document

With that research, we informed ourselves about the use of colors and symbols, and made ourselves more conscious about which elements to avoid, and which elements to incorporate into our logo and brand.

In the PDF below, you can see some of our research, how it informed our design decisions, and part of the logo design process.

Co-founder of Embrace Autism, and living up to my surname as a silver award-winning graphic designer. Besides running Embrace Autism and researching autism, I love typography and practice type design. I also fight dodecahedragons during sleep onset. I discovered I’m autistic when I was 19, and was diagnosed at 25. PS: I am trans, and Martin is my dead name. For articles under my current name, have a look at Eva Silvertant’s content.
