Honolulu Community College
1993

This logo from February 1993 was originally done for the student government newsletter to reflect the progress of technology at HCC and was subsequently adopted by the college as its official logo. It was decommissioned a few years ago as part of a system-wide identity standardization effort. |
Pogs, or milk caps, were highly collectable and tradeable items by kids of ages 8 to 80 in Hawaii in 1993, and I developed a number of them at HCC. The name pog stands for "Passion(fruit) Orange Guava", the juice that these caps were originally on. The HCC and ASUH-HCC (the Associated Students of the University of Hawaii at HCC) pogs from February 1993 were produced in original runs of 5,000 copies during the height of the craze on Oahu, Hawaii. They were one-sided, stamped in purple and blue foil.
These dino pogs were never printed but were to be stamped in foil. The anniversary pogs were printed in a very limited run. All of the images were traced manually from scanned photographs taken on the campus.
At the left below is a cover to the HCC student constitution, and at the right is an image of the first all-digital issue of the Kahili (the campus newspaper) from October 1993. I put this issue together in PageMaker, inspired by an art student's initial design. Although we thought being in a digital format would help us, the files have been lost in time, so ironically I've had to scan in a copy to produce the PDF file referenced below.

This is a logo for HASnet (Hawaii Associated Students network), which was an effort to link the various UH student organizations together via the use of networking technology. |
