During fall quarter, Savannah College of Art and design graphic design students entered a logo design competition by Sustainable Fellwood, a LEED-certified mixed-income neighborhood project in West Savannah. The results were remarkable: SCAD students won all placement categories.

Graduate graphic design student Yuan Yao was first-place winner, receiving a new laptop computer. Graduate graphic design student Karina Nersesova came in second place, receiving a Circuit City gift card, and graduate graphic design student Jiuxue Zhang received an honorable mention and a Circuit City gift card as well.

The Sustainable Fellwood logo competition was open to all Chatham County colleges, universities and high school seniors. Judges looked for a logo that graphically conveyed an understood message and vision of what community and sustainable/green design is. The company will use Yao's winning logo to set the tone for the entire LEED-certified community.

Sustainable Fellwood is a 27-acre site located on Bay Street, just west of Savannah's Historic District. The site of Savannah's first housing project, Sustainable Fellwood will be a $50 million mixed-use development of 220 affordable housing units, 100 senior housing units, 10 single-family homeowner units, and potential retail, medical and technical space. Amenities will include a clubhouse, organic community garden and significant common green space.

Sustainable Fellwood is an early entrant into the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Neighborhood Development pilot program and will be guided by the Smart Growth Network's principles for diverse, walkable, distinctive, attractive communities.
