A Pratt design professor and his wife, Scholastic Inc.'s creative director, collaborated on the now-iconic mockingjay symbol.
A Brooklyn couple is responsible for the iconic “Hunger Games” logo, depicting a golden bird with an arrow, says the New York Daily News.
Scholastic Inc.’s creative director Elizabeth Parisi and her illustrator husband Tim O’Brien, a design professor at , came up with the idea for the logo for the bestselling books () in their Ditmas Park home, says the Daily News.

And while the logo may go down at O’Brien’s best-known work (although his art has graced the covers of both Time and Rolling Stone magazines), his best accolades are coming from his 12-year-old son, Cassius, says the article.
“It’s pretty cool,” O’Brien’s son told the Daily News. “Everybody in school reads (the books).”
