I decided to make the emblem that incorporates lightness as a religious figure. This is a picture of a statue Virgin Mary blended through photoshop with candles at the Key West cemetery. I thought this was relevant and an important logo. Out of all the themes that were present in The Color Purple, lightness can be especially visible and valid regarding the theme of spirituality.
Spirituality can lift ones spirits metaphorically but if you are religious, you also believe that your spirit will go to heaven after death. I thought that Celie believed this idea so I wanted to show this image. I chose to show a woman religious figure that reminded me of Celie’s struggles, the main character in The Color Purple. I once again made the image very simple to let it speak for itself. I didn’t want too much going on around the image of the woman.
