This is my graphic contribution for VoiceNotify, an android app that uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to announce status bar notification messages so users don't need to look at the screen to know what a notification says. You can learn more about this app in their [Github repository](https://github.com/pilot51/voicenotify) and [Google PlayStore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pilot51.voicenotify). 

Upon seeing their existing logo, I noticed that it has the full name of the app in the icon itself and the logo does not well-represent what the app is capable of. Thus, I decided to design a more meaningful logo to give it a new brand identity that would attract more users.

After brainstorming, I came up with a ringing bell to symbolize notification, a shouting human to signify human voice, and letter "e" to denote electronic  voice since the app uses TTS technology.

#### Benefits / Improvements
- This logo is already merged and used in github repository which can be seen [here](https://github.com/pilot51/voicenotify). 
- The new logo is simple, clean, unique and uses meaningful symbols to represent the purpose of the app

#### Design Attempts
The final logo is a product of multiple attempts to provide project owners several options to choose from. Here are the alternatives I've shown to the project owner before coming up with the final design.

#### Tools
- Adobe Illustrator CS6 was used to create the logo and icons. Basic shapes were used to construct the design. Mockups were created by myself.
