Tamara Dizon, a senior majoring in computer graphics technology, created the special logo for the College of Technology 50th anniversary celebration. The circle logo incorporates Purdue’s Old Gold and black color palette with a large “50” and a celebratory feel.
“I see a circle as a symbol of unity because it doesn’t have edges,” Dizon said. “It worked well with the 50 and the font.”
People from across the country will gather at Purdue University to explore the philosophy of the man credited with improving manufacturing processes and quality control in the United States and Japan and how his ideas relate to sustainability.
