Design a Logo 3

Changed the classic male Leo to a female one (subtract the mane.) Originally it was supposed to say L(lion)Argo but I decided to shorten it to something different. Aro.

Design a Logo 2

 

No matter what I still enjoy this logo-icon combo. The pen represents being a writer (not sure if I said this before or not...)

Design a Logo 1

Comments are appreciated. Made sure not to use opacity change in the gradual shift of color on the lotus flower. It goes from 100% black to 70% black.

FINAL Business Package Designs

Finally finished with the design. I know... no design is ever truly finished it can be improved more and more because nothing is perfect. For me, I feel the designs are not perfect but not terrible more like acceptable?

Business Package = Business Card, Envelope, Letterhead.

 

Business Package

Business Card using the lotus flower logo-icon.
Its a very rough draft. Still working on the layout of the info type. Since this image refuses to upload to the blog I just posted it on photobucket.

Here's the link:

Comments are much appreciated! And yes the card is in color. I have a grayscale one too but I forgot to export the image in grayscale.

I'll update this package as I work on it over the break. Its just going to be some rough "flat" sketches on photoshop using the images I have right now. For the letter and letterhead.

 I made two variations of the envelope. I wasn't sure whichone was appropriate. Is it ok for the logo to be at the top or at the bottom?! I know I should already know this but i'm beginning to have my doughts (i kow i spelled that wrong but i'm super tired!)

Rose Icon

I made another flower logo icon... 

D(Rose)L = my initials >.<

I wanted to try doing a flower that matched my name, Danielle Rose Largo.

The type used to be Old English but I changed it a little in illustrator so it wouldn't be a L Death Note letter anymore.

The small red rose is the reference picture I used to help me make the rose above. 

Even though we were only supposed to do three sketches I wanted to try doing the Rose. I'm glad the logo-icons aren't supposed to be color.

I think I'll post the different sizes from 1/2 in to 3 inches on my sketch book. So just click on the link above marked Sketch Book! 

And thanks Nat for pointing out the water droplet! I'll post the updated on later on.

Logo Icon 3

This is the last one of my icon-logos. Its not much without the calligraphy pen.

When I think of a writer I think of a pen. But a pen is too plain so I decided on a calligraphy pen.

Logo Icon 2

The black and white one is my final sketches. Not sure if anyone notices the little L shaped petal in the middle. I was recently reading way too much Ouke no Monshou (not sure if i spelled it right) which led me to try making a Lotus flower logo-icon.

Out of curiosity I looked up the meaning behind the lotus flower. Here's what I basically remembered from my very brief research:

Lotus = purity, death, and rebirth.

The pink lotus on the left is the reference picture I used to help me make the left side of my flower petals which I then reflected on the right side. 

My reasoning behind the flower as a logo-icon is the symbolism of purity. Mostly 'cause a certain uncle's church says Graphic Design is impure and your selling your soul to the devil or something. I strongly disagree with that theory.
