Client: BSides Kristiansand

Visual Identity

Logo Design

BSides exists to foster a collaborative environment where individuals passionate about cybersecurity can come together to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and stay updated on the latest developments in the field. As part of the global Security BSides movement, BSides Kristiansand offers a local flavor by focusing on the unique challenges and developments relevant to the Norwegian cybersecurity landscape. In designing the logo, my goal was to encap- sulate both the coastal essence of Kristiansand and the specialized focus areas of cyberse- curity, digital forensics, and incident response.

I wanted the logo to visually bridge the connection between Kristiansand’s natural beauty and the high-tech landscape of information security.

The tree element in the logo is a direct nod to Kristiansand’s natural environment, symbolizing growth, stability, and resilience- qualities that are integral to the field of cybersecurity. I took inspiration from the tree in the Kristiansand Kommune logo, adapting it to represent not only the local geography but also the idea of interconnectedness and protection, which are central to digital security.
