Project description
UP-KMAE is Dr. Alessandro Mini’s master’s thesis project, awarded at QBATs in Lugano as the best research project in Cyber Security & Data Science. It is a user profiling system on the network designed to perform security functions, particularly in a corporate context. To create the logo we explored a series of symbols related to security. After several attempts with padlocks, shields, and upward arrows (a nod to the UP in UP-Kmae, which stands for User Profiling [using] K-Means [and] Auto Encoders) I tried a more modern symbol: the pattern many people use or have used to lock/unlock their phone. We decided to focus on this idea and after a few variations found the final version. The fun thing about this logo is that it is modular — it let us reuse the pattern to create different words like Grazie / Thanks to place at the end of a presentation.
