Logo Design
Logos, Branding
-A Logo a Day Keeps My Mind at Bay.
Overview
I spend a good majority of my time working with companies and customers to create new logos and branding. I love specializing in the creation of identities and working on unique or strange requests, while also perfecting what is known as a "traditional" business logos. I have been working on logo design for roughly six years and my abilities have grown substantially over time and I am constantly pushing myself to design better.
Fun Facts
The strangest logo/branding that I have ever had the pleasure of working on was for a small Mexican food shop that was on a college campus that specifically asked for "a donkey, wearing a sombrero and rave glasses, while eating a taco."
In 2010, I participated in National Geographic's 125th-anniversary international logo/t-shirt design contest. I placed third out of 300+ entries and was the only American to place. Read more about this contest here.
Other Details
I'm a very conscientious designer and I'm always thinking about the possibility of future applications the logo and brand will require. Just because a logo looks great in all of its multi-color glory on your website, doesn't mean that it will look as great mono-colored on a t-shirt.
