Inspirational design: Kinectic rain

Kinetic Rain by ART+COM is a distinct art project installed above two escalators in Terminal 1 at the Singapore Airport. This project is composed of 608 copper-covered aluminum rain droplets that are held up by steel rods.

A motor powered by a computer was placed in the ceiling to make these droplets appear to be floating above the escalators. The computer has the droplets on a 15-minute pattern where they move back and forth together simultaneously.

Since the 1950s, kinetic art has been a prevalent art form, and with advanced computer technology three-dimensional kinetic sculptures are rising in popularity. They consist of moving parts that are controlled by some form of motor. This art installation is a beautiful addition to the busy airport.

For the love of logos i have been working on my schools logo. The schools name is the Oakwood thus the acorn is in the logo as the acorn is the seed of the Oak tree and the design concept to be applied in the schools spaces. This is what i have come up with...
