Good logo

Simple logo with a clear concept, revealing typeface like a revealing identity… I like the kerning, the letters are quite apart from each other slowing down the rhythm, increasing the intensity.

 

Still life

I have recently worked on this image which I am planning to use for my business cards. It is bringing a bit of life into my graphic language, using photography is something I love doing, and with this visual, I am introducing colours and going away slightly from the rigid geometry that tends to define my work.

This is surely a result of many inspirations I follow online, I am definitely looking for putting more soft colours, grain and texture into my work, I just did not feel ready enough so far. These things take time to assimilate, and I am fine with the wait. I do not aim to rush and produce semi-disapointing results. Design is maybe like wine, it is good only when it is ready.

Transparency

I came across this entry by a designer called Chris Spooner (whom seems to have a very active blog about everything and main stream design). It takes a useful look at transparency in logo design and how effective it can be when well used. I thought some of the examples were nice and personally inspiring, so it deserves to be referenced over here again.

On top of showing interesting use of layering, I also find the colours to be vibrant and playful in many of them, especially in the two above. I always found myself having difficulties when dealing with colours, but here I understand better how they can be a bonus rather than simple black and white logos. But I guess it also depends on the context to which the logo will be applied to.
