Can't Stop!

I can't stop thinking of different ideas for my friend's website. There are so many things you can do with the letter "e." For this design, I drew a box, and then placed the letter on top. I subtracted the letter from the box (pathfinder menu), and added a shadow. I then copied the box 3 times and changed the orientation of each one. Viola!

Happy Accidents

While playing with some different logo design ideas I was moving the images around on the screen. The picture above happened when I copied the triangle with an E, and then pasted it on top. I was going to reflect the image, but I kinda liked the way it looked, so here it is.

Illustrator logo

This is just a very basic rendition of the sketch below in illustrator. I didn't do anything special. I used Live Paint to color the logo, then dropped a shadow.

More Logo Work

This is a rough sketch of another idea I had for my friend's website logo (see post below).  His initial's are actually ME, and that is how he usually signs his posts, emails, etc, so I think this design works as a play on both letters.  The initial sketch was done in pencil (on the back of an old xerox copy....gotta love drawing at work!), and then colored with a black sharpie.  Later, when I'm not on company time, I'll see what I can do in Illustrator.

button/pin logo

A friend mentioned needing a logo for a website he runs. He wanted something simple, perhaps just the letter "e." So I was playing around today with some simple pin shapes in Illustrator that I learned about on Veerle's blog (in my links). For Veerle's complete tutorial, go here:

Here are the 2 designs I've come up with based on the pin idea (the actual images are much nicer than the png files I've uploaded):

Logo Design 2

I just thought I'd post with the latest change to the "sshabang" logo I am working on. I changed the tail a little on this one to better match my original sketch. I'm still waiting to hear back from my friend regarding any changes he may like.

Logo Design

I have been working on my 1st freelance project which is a logo design. The logo is for a software program that works as an installer for OpenBSD (the program was tentatively called "sshabang"). A friend of mine is in charge of the software updates and was looking for a new logo. So I started coming up with some preliminary sketches that incorporated aspects of the OpenBSD blow fish. The OpenBSD blowfish logo is copyrighted by OpenBSD.

The best 2 ideas were a bomb with spikes, and a series of cogs that morphed into the fish. I was thinking of "Spy vs. Spy" when I drew the bomb, and then added spikes to mimic the fish, and just make it look menacing. However, it was mistaken for a stick of dynamite in the fish's butt, so I guess I didn't convey the look I was going for. My friend preferred the cog logo, so I went to work in Illustrator and came up with 3 designs (all basically the same). The design is not finalized yet, and I think I need to work on some aspects (like the tail). Once I get some feedback I will be sure to post updates.
