Virginia Tech Metropolitan Studies Department

Logo & book cover

We took the department's ideas & direction to create a new logo to better demonstrate the Metropolitan Studies Department's mission. The logo is used in correspondence & publications produced by the department.

"Opolis: An International Journal of Suburban and Metropolitan Studies" is a publication that sought new ways of understanding suburbia—including analysis that rethinks the roles that cities and suburbs play in the region. The cover design is an abstract representation of expanding population centers in relation to suburbia.
