The logo for Liberation Libraries powerfully embodies the mission of building community and amplifying Black and Brown lived experiences through literature. At its core is an open book, symbolizing the accessibility and transformative power of stories. From the book's pages emerge three raised fists, a universal emblem of solidarity, empowerment, and resistance, reflecting the mission to elevate the voices of Black and Brown authors and communities.
The bold letters "MBK" anchor the design, connecting it to its purpose and origin. The logo’s black-and-white palette reinforces the gravity of the mission while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic. Vibrant and intentional, the typography is strong yet approachable, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and community-building.
This thoughtful design serves as a beacon for Cambridge residents, inviting them to explore and connect with the richness of Black and Brown stories. By fostering understanding, empathy, and unity across generations, the logo captures the Liberation Libraries’ vision of empowerment and growth through literature.
