Logo Design
 

 

Logo design can be representational or metaphoric. I generally incorporate the companies official colors into their logo, although rarely this is not desirable. Logos can be very simple or complex with information. Like business card design the key aspect is on contextual appropriateness.

 
 
 

   ZFest

 
 

This is a logo and a plaque, created for the ZSCCA's ZFest '09.

                 
 
 
 

   Nerds We Can Fix That

 
 

These logo was somewhat complex, as it was to incorporate the vinyl-wrapped repair trucks of the company into the logo. I also had to design the vinyl wrap, so there was a bit of a chicken-before-the-egg factor.

          
 
 
 

   GTBoard

 
 

This logo was a revision of the existing m5board logo, as the two online businesses had the same owner and continuity was desired.

     
 
 
 

   BMS

 
 

Prior to being the official Creative Director at BMS I revised their existing logo. Then I created a new look which they liked, but was deemed too complex for use on the race cars. Later I came up with a new logo inspired by the original one but with a more modern and mature look.

               
 
 
 
 

   The Mistiques

 
 

The Mistiques is a dance troop led by Dancing Mara. I designed this logo to be used on their sweatshirts.

          
 
 
 

   Shepherd Consolidated

 
 

This logo is actually a revision of two existing logos. I show it here as contrast to the more complex logos that tend to be desired.

     
 
 
 

   Assassins United

 
 

AU was an online organization for the game Tribes. The more monotone variation of their logo was stylistically modeled after existing Tribes logos. The full color variation was for web use. Other variations have been used on apparel and office accessories.

          
 
 
 

   HomeLAN

 
 

HomeLAN had an existing logo, of a house with wires leading to it. For Tribes Gala 2000 I modified their logo for use on t-shirts given as swag at the convention.

                 
 
 
 

   House Vagoroth

 
 

This logo was created originally for myself as a personal seal. In college I used it in a role playing club. Since then I have used it as the symbol of an online organization in the game Tribes, and as an avatar on various automotive forums.
