My inspiration for this design was flight, which went so well with Aviva’s mission and logo. Among a batch of proposed designs for Aviva’s chic annual gala, this was the clear winner. At least for me. Although I thought this design might never make it through committee review, in the end it triumphed, much to the credit of the persuasive powers of LA’s legendary Yifat Oren, Aviva’s 2012 honoree. In the end, I think all parties were pleased. (Go me!)
