Logo Design

Skirts ‘N Pipe Logo

I had a chance to do some logo design recently for a new business venture. The customer is a wife of an oil rep or something. She said oil companies would always send her and her husband free t-shirts, but they were somewhat masculine for a female to wear. Her idea was to create her own shirt company focusing on the oil field but geared more towards women. Here are some of the ideas I proposed to her. I created the majority of each design in Photoshop and than converted them to vector designs in Illustrator.

It was tough to come up with a concept that focused on the name, but eventually I decided to use “droplets of oil,” and she ended up choosing the first design. It’s a simple text with the font adjusted to add some drops over the ‘i’s, as well as a woman’s head shape in the main larger droplet. Below are a variation of color schemes. Personally, I like the original black and white scheme the best.

Apparition Production Logo

I was assigned with creating a production logo and introduction for my video class, and at the time was watching a television show called American Gothic, which is where the audio comes from. Also, I have always been a Ghostbusters fan, so I decided to go with the name Apparition. The figure itself was a still image that I downloaded from the internet and toyed with in Photoshop to give a blue “invisible” feel. I than used Adobe Premiere to create a simple wave movement and flashing to give an eerie motion to the figure.

Top O’ The Morning Logo

I created this logo for a fictional coffee company. I wanted to give it an Irish feel to match the company’s name, so I chose to use a four leaf clover. The gold, leaves and banner are meant to symbolize a richness and high quality of ingredients and flavor.

Creative World Visuals: Logo

This logo was created for my personal catalog using Photoshop and Illustrator. The design itself actually forms the letter “CWV,” within the separate colors. I wanted to create a spinning world effect to symbolize constant motion inside the world, as well as out.

Dreamscope: Logo

I toyed with a few ideas before settling on this final piece. I wanted the design to stand out on it’s own. I created this logo in Adobe Illustrator and added the gradient colors in Photoshop. I wanted to create some imagining in the logo that was somewhat of a play of words in the company name. That is the reason that the “scope” design is represented in the “O” of the name. I also knew that I wanted to create a moon out of the “E” in Dream. The crescent moon design alone is what I had originally, but it looked too much like a “C.” I also tried a crescent moon with a single star but did not want the logo to be confused with a religious symbol. I decided to make a trail of stars to complete the lower case “e,” and add some gradients to the rest of the design.

Here are a couple of the originals that I initially came up with.
