Designer of my week - Matt Lehman

I came across Matts site and was instantly impressed with his work. I especially loved his logo designs as they had real character to them and you get such a feel of what the brand are. I found it very hard to design logos for more individual companies and look less corporate, but Matt has made it look easy. I think his use of colour, overlay effect, and interesting type has captured a really playful feel here.  Matt Lehman

My final logo design

After much deliberation and a nice long chat with my house mates, (a web designer and a surface pattern designer) I have finally decided on this logo.
I feel this logo shows my skill as a designer better than the rest, and looks more professional. I had in my head i wanted a quirky looking logo but when i really think about it, most of my work can be identified with more of a sophisticated look.

But no that i have decided on this, i now need to start branding myself with other elements, starting with a website. I have all the designs ready and now the colour scheme and logo sorted and hopefully in the next coming weeks, and with the help of my house mate, i shall have a fully running website.

Typographic logos

These images are from an article on Naldz Graphics, I have started to really appreciate logo design over the summer and really like clever once such as below. These were just a few of my favourites from this site, using punctuation to emphasise the identity.
