Design Concepts
The logo of Weibo was created as a carton eye with three signal on its right. We love its concept which depicts Weibo as a tool for people to discover and communicate. Thus, we applied the logo of Weibo into our theme design.
In our website, poster as well as our team logo, we all applied the yellow (#feb101), orange (ff8600), and red (#d52a2c) as the theme colors, which were extracted from the logo of Sina Weibo. We believe that those colors were bright and attracting for absorbing our audiences, as Weibo Real-time Trending Topic also use those colors aiming to attract its users to view and share news.
We used a handwrote “WeHit” as our team logo. The style of handwriting signifies that the aim of Weibo Trending Topic is to get people involved. The letters all has relatively small head and big bottom, which is the shape of rain drop, and rain drop represents a plethora of posts, topics and shared information are collected, filtered, and formed as a list, just like rain drop are collected and formed as whole water. And at the top of the letter “i,” is also the logo of Weibo, which indicates our research object.
Our website has seven sections: Overall introduction (WE ARE “WEHIT”!), background, mechanism (including sociotechnical system and architecture), poster, interview, reference, and introduction of our team (ABOUT US).
