SAGE bonaire

This was a fun one. A wonderful client from Bonaire in the Netherland Antilles contacted me for a logo for her new company. Taking my inspiration from the island’s habitat as well as recognizing that this was for a newly-established financial institution, I designed the below. Muted colors are out when dealing with Bonaire. Other design elements included the sage leaf (representing new beginnings and a bow to the company name) and the water wave at the bottom. The outside image is in a square format to represent strength, stability and power. They loved it.

Hopin' third times the charm!

3rd go at this logo. Changing of concepts as far as the meaning of "fresh" in Get Fresh. At first the concept of "fresh" was to be represented by a wink. Hmm, that just didn't work. The second one was just not quite there as the feeling was a bit too "fresh" (as in trouble maker) and wasn't sweet enough. For this third version, we will see if this cute and adorable concept in "Fresh", as in young and fresh, works. (Provided about 6-8 hand drawn rough sketches before that too!) It's all about bringing the right meaning of the store name to a memorable character reference that will please customers.

Some logo concepts go much faster but logo design can be a process until the client hits that eureka moment. Once I spent a week with a corporate client not sure on "just the right shade of brown." That's the job.

Bakehouse Logo

Working with "Get Fresh" Bakehouse on a logo. The gorgeous girl in the image was once one of my bat mitzvah clients! Get Fresh celebrates enjoying fresh baked goods while staying within gluten free restrictions. How fabulous!

Mt. Hebron School Logo

Logo concepts for a science and technology magnet school. The colors of the school name are meant to vibrant and represent both sky and red earth in another lean toward the outdoors and chemicals. They are the only object of color to pull the eye to the name. The jumping children are showcased as the main object to best show that this is the main focus of Mt. Hebron, the children. I would think the best use of these designs or this design style would be to use them as a collection and not pick just one. I made about 6 different versions of the same concept.

Montclair High School Swim Team

Montclair High School Swim Team logo. I wanted the swimmer graphic to look like it was flying over the M. I was looking for the concept of speed and action. You are supposed to see this and visualize the M on the bottom of the pool.

Crew Dog first try...

This was tough and still isn't finished. I need a model to base my work on and all the bulldogs I found as samples looked like this...
way too cute!

I pulled the sabre tooth fang concept from another dog illustration I found and tried to rework the concept but tried to make it more vicious. I may try to expand the body back to where the text begins. I'll look at it later.

another version of the same:

I don't know what I like better here. Now I'm thinking that I like him like this, he looks angrier. Maybe I'll change my mind later. Its always good to walk away from this stuff and revisit it visually fresh the next day.
