Personal Logo Project

GD4/ Spring 2022

Objective

Use your design skills to create a personal logo that reflects aspects of yourself (interests, hobbies, ideals, thoughts, physical traits, etc.). Take these ideas and make a logo that is abstract. Create sketches and use Adobe Illustrator to make your final design. Utilize colors as well to bring together your design. By the end, you will have a design that is unique and specific to you.

Final Logo Design Description

You know that feeling of spacing out and getting lost deep in thought? Perhaps you see images, hear music, or play out scenarios in your head? Throughout my entire life, this has plagued my concentration. But as I shifted my career-focus to graphic design, I realized that this was not as much of a burden as I thought. When I zone out, I see pictures, colors, and ideas. I am completely submerged in a space where my creative aspirations thrive, and my design skills become a reality. In recognition of this, I created a logo to reflect the idea of having my “head in the clouds”.

Sketches/Early Ideas

I was really drawn to the idea of a logo involving clouds, which ended up being in the final design. The first two sketches were more centered around this idea of "head in the clouds". Some of the other sketches were experimentations with simple fish designs, which I wanted to somehow incorporate with the same cloud theme.

Logo Ideas in Adobe Illustrator

During my design process, I was drawn to the deep black color next to white. In some of these designs I also included a backdrop, which was inspired by other logos I was fond of during my research.
