Wine art update

2009-07-15T16:29:00.000-07:00

Here's the latest on the wine logo/illust I'm working on. Here I have hard lined the frame and woman, added some depth by adding black shadowing here and there and hatching to the face.

Logo selected for Logo Lounge's Master Library series book.

Illustration for new winery

2009-07-02T13:08:00.000-07:00

One of my new clients in the wine industry, asked me to rework their logo design. Currently they are using a black/white photo of a woman looking over to her right which they want to keep in the design. The goal is to have an illustration that is timeless, sophisticated and convey quality. Here is a rough sketch of the chosen design direction and the second, is the start of the vector art. Third, which I worked a bit on today is the start of shading which will end up "scratch board" style. I will add more images of this design as I develop it!

First round logo ideas for new client

2009-06-15T18:05:00.000-07:00

Here are some comps I worked up for my latest client who's opening a new Chiropractors office. He didn't have any specific ideas on what he would like for a logo so, I had him run through a logo reference book and show me the one's that stood out most to him. He likes a variety of styles (which makes it challenging yet fun) so, I did just that. Graphic, simple, text only. I will post the final when it's done!

June update

Let's see... Been working on quite a few projects for some of my long term clients the past few weeks. Can't post the work yet since the new products are not available for the public. Had 3 requested to fix logos for clients who were not satisfied with the designer they chose before. Finalizing some web site design bits and pieces and getting ready to start a new logo design for a new client who obtained my services today!
