Logo Development

Logo Development

I decided to develop most of my initial ideas further so that I could get a sense of what they would look like when assembled.

To begin with I started by dripping paint onto a sheet of white paper and scanning in the results, I then choose the ones that I was happy with on photoshop and assembled them into a larger blog. I am very happy with this effect and I also like the idea of using two colours as I believe that it adds depth to the image.

For my first idea I choose the guitarist and I also combined this with the speaker idea, which I think works well as it builds up the image well. One problem I have though with the speaker is that if it was just a silhouette like the guitarist it would be a circle, which would be rubbish. So I gave it a threshold effect, one thing I couldn't decide however was whether to leave part of it white, here I elected not to but it's something to definitely look into. But all in all I like this logo as a starting point as it has the potential to be made into a moving logo, ie. to guitarist can jump about playing the music coming out of the speaker.

For my second Idea I simply added a footballer to the image again in silhouette, although I like the simplicity of it, I do prefer how my first logo design builds up the logo more by having more images giving it a deeper feel. I also feel the this silhouette works a lot better than the first as it is clearer what the image is doing and the pose he is taking up, again this has the potential to move when finished.

For my final design I choose to add everything into one logo which I think is my strongest idea of the three, I like how the different images interact, and how it appears that the silhouettes come from one source in this case the speaker. Obviously this idea needs a lot of development but I believe that it is the strongest idea I have come up with. I'm going to look at the positioning of my silhouettes and the posture they are taking up, I also want to look at adding my name into it somehow, one thing I am very keane on is making sure that my name simply isn't stuck onto the image so I need to find a way to make it appear to be interacting with the rest of the logo.

By the way sorry for the really rubbish presentation on this post, It's so hard to get images onto text and keep the post looking normal.
