Logos

After our workshop on creating logos I decided to look in the library for inspiration for logo designs and I found I really good book called Logolounge(6), this book I really enjoyed looking through and found some examples of logos that I really liked.

 In the examples above the thging I liked was how many different ways each letter is portrayed; this was something I struggled with in the workshop when using my initials to create a logo design. I will now use this as inspiration for being creative with letter forms aqnd the decoration around them.

Another thing we had looked in the workshop was the use of shape in logos and in these examples I liked the use of the circle and how it wasn't just a logo surrounding but was used as part of the logo, this will be something I will try to look at further in my own experiemnts. I particularly like "nige", "ping" and "jugar"because of the way they bring the white into the logo from outside of the circle.

In these logos I also liked the use of the circle shape but it is less restricted and they are also a good example of how a logo doesn't have to include typography. Although I like this and did once consider creating a non-typographic logo I decided against it as my chosen area is typography and that should be demonstrated in my logo in some way. this is not to say that i won't combine image and text in some of my experiments.

Finally from this book I liked these examples of what I'd call less uniform, what i mean is that they are not strict within a shape or only using initials, to me they seem a bit more expressive and fun especially with a bright use of colour. i also like some of the typography styles the the way "kids" overlaps and "rojo" has a printed effected with the imperfect ink. i may do some like this of my own but I'm not sure yet so I will do some more reseach.
