A STUDENT’S design has been chosen as the new logo for the UK’s leading mentoring scheme for filmmakers.

Design for digital media students at the University of Brighton were asked to come up with a design that captured the essence of a new edition of Guiding Lights, run by Lighthouse, an arts and culture agency based in Brighton.

The winning design was by second-year student Eddie Stuart whose logo “stood out right from the start”.

Sian Habell-Aili, Lighthouse development producer, said: “Guiding Lights has historically been a difficult project to brand. It’s about people, connections and career progression – so some quite abstract concepts.

Eddie, 22, and based in Hastings, is now working for a local design consultancy.
