Logoish

I admit it - I’m a bit of a follower.  I read or find out about new ideas, new places to spread my wings, and I dive in head first.  I think this makes me a Jack of All Trades (whether I’m a Master of None remains to be seen - I think I’m doing okay).

So when I found David Airey’s site and read about how he created his new logo, of course I started thinking about making my own.  Natch.

I started with sketches (of course, being an amateur I use a regular comp book), and I actually came out with something I really like with very little effort.  Past history has proved to me (I-Search paper in the 9th grade - thank you to my English teacher that year whose name I can’t recall) that I can come up with some kick ass ideas, if I don’t stop once I think I’ve hit my favorite.

Maybe I ought to go back to sketching.

Well, even if I do more sketches, my problem right now is translating it into Photoshop (which is a post for another day).  I have acceptable PS skills, but apparently not enough to get my vectors to act the way I’d like them to.  Google ought to help, once I find some free time to go plunder it’s vault of information.

I actually gave up on my favorite design and went for my second choice because I could create that one simply with creative fonts, but I’m rethinking that now.  I mean, a font-logo doesn’t really feel like a real logo, right?  Maybe it could be - I probably ought to do more research.

Google, my friend, here I come!
