logos

I've done a few rough sketches of logo ideas i've got from other artists. i've tried to use a variety, so some logos have picture, some are fancy writing, some have backwards letters. Here's a copy of my first ideas, then i narrowed it down to my 3 favorites.

For The first idea i drew it in fine liner. I didn't do it really neat, because that's what ill do for the production. I like this idea because is modern and it adds a really nice texture to the typography.

This next idea was influenced by the "Sex pistols Never mind the bollocks." I really like the scruffy punk look and the use of color. It really stands out which is what i want.

This last idea is very simple. But artists such as Audioslave and Slayer used this technique of a pattern behind the font. I i chose this idea i would make it more bold and detailed.

Obviously the logos that i have drawn above are only rough sketches and i can improve them. But i really like the first idea. My favorite idea is the punk- like one based on the sex pistols, but after thinking about the song i'm doing and what i want my image and album cover to be like, i think that the first idea would fit into it better. Its simple and bold, yet it stands out because of the built up layers.

This is the perfect example of how i want my album cover to be. I wanted it to be back and white and selling the artist. For my idea i was going to have a picture of myself with the title above me. This is why i think the first logo idea would be best for my project because it is simple and can easily change from one simple color to another. The only difference is that i want to get some landscape into my album background

Here is a logo that i made on Adobe Illustrator. It is like the logo that i had drawn out (above.)  I had never used illustrator before. The only tool that i used was the line tool, and the line curve tool for the corners. It tool me a good few days to do, but i am happy with the end  outcome. I exported this to photoshop and placed it on top of a picture of me.

I also tried several other logo designs, but i used my friends name to design them. I jused adobe illustrator and Photoshop to complete these. I was considering the design that is vertical on the right hand side. I like the tiled effect i created. However i wanted the theme to stay black and white and simple, and if i did that design in black and white it would not of shown up very well agains the photograph. The other designs, although colorful and patterned, were to bold for me. My fuinal logo i choose was simple, yet complicated with all the different lines and sizes.
