Logos - CC logo for friend

This is the logo that got me into graphic design

(And it's my favorite I've designed so far)



These are the first designs I made

And this is the final design


The process - The first designs


First logo: I don't recall how I came up with this design, but it kinda looks like the Comedy Central logo but with the outside C flipped. Consensus - Best out of them all, might use for some other project sometime.

Second logo: This was supposed to look like it's written code since it always starts with a forward slash. Consensus - Second best, not that desirable.

Third logo: This was designed more like a sport logo with the hanging C and such. Consensus - It looks really bad.

Fourth logo: What even is that? Consensus - What was I thinking?

Fifth logo: ... Consensus - Umm... I like the colors?

The process - Final design


After my friend told me he didn't like any of the designs, I took a day off. An idea came into my head to make the two C's into one concurrent symbol. Trying to make this work well was hard, but I was finally able to get it right.

Overview

The first ones are some of my least favorite logo designs, but that's probably because it was my first try at making logos that aren't soccer logos. Making a logo that's meant to be CC grants a lot of creative freedom since the C's are basically just two circular curves. The thing is, I didn't take advantage of that fact until the last one I made (the first logo of the first designs). As for the final design, I really like what I was able to pull off.

My takeaway


Taking your time with a logo is vital to putting out your best work.


Bye for now,
Jack

Post news, Two graphic design books and Future projects.

A new update! (This isn't going to be a huge update but some things need to be said) Post news I have two new posts coming very soon detailing my two latest projects. The first will be about my most recent project I finished, my newest voxel art. It's going to be structured a bit differently than usual just because I will be showing off my process in a bit more detail. The second will be my biggest project, the website concept. This post has been put off because I haven't decided how to make the post work. Since it's such a vast project and it's still being currently worked on, it won't be the only post I'll make about it. Since I've been working on it before I made the blog, I'll need to talk about all the stuff I've made up to this point. It would be a safe bet to say that the voxel art post will be coming this week or next week. Regarding the website concept post, I don't really know yet. Two graphic design books I recentl...

Voxel Art - Rand 3D

Image
This is my first pixel to voxel art (Trying to make 2D pixel art into 3D voxel art is hard) This is a rendition of my old 2D Rand A nice top left side view to show the 3D A bottom left view to show that he's hollow This is trying to show what Rand looks like in light (and that awesome glowing eye) This is the best in light Rand photo I have The process This took me about 4-6 hours to make, and another 30 minutes to render all the images. The process was simple in thought, but hard in practice. Trying to make it look like the pixel art came first was pretty hard to say the least. I had to match up all the voxels in a way so that when you looked at Rand from the front, it would mirror the pixel art perfectly. It turned out really well in the end and that's all I wanted. Overview Overall, I really like what I was able to do. Learning how to use effects made these photos ten times better than if it was just plain voxels. My takeaway ...
