Time for some logo freshies. #logo #logodesign
A swirl of yogurt on top of the words 'Yogurt Yurt'. A set of white curved lines and a single straight line with a hooked bit on top, all forming the shape of a pumpkin. A crescent shape around a coin with a square hole in the middle. There are lines over the moon which show that the money is on the move. Yellow to orange gradient just looks neat. A circle of ten playing cards, all the ace of spades, with lettering below reading 'Ten Aces'. If you ever find yourself in a game of cards where someone has ten aces of spades, they are definitely cheating.

A few more for the portfolio. #logo #logodesign
A circle with a half-circle laid over it, forming an O and a C. A square containing the letters SZXL. Pronounced "Size XL", this is intended as the logo for a clothes shop for larger-than-average persons. An elephant over the white lettering reading Pacakeg. A few months back I bought myself a cheap desk fan which came with a directions that were not translated particularly well. Lots of misspellings including this one that was supposed to be package. I think. In any case, I decided that it sounded like a nice name for an elephant-themed shipping company, and here we are. An oval-shaped, patch-like logo reading Cairn.

Love me some Ultraman.
Ultraman, who is quite large, stands over several awestruck onlookers.

Eventually he's going to sign on to direct an adaptation of Power Rangers. Just so...
Eye Guy - villain of the week from the original Power Rangers series. He is a humanoid monster made up of eyeballs of varying sizes, with a bloodshot eye located in his mouth.

A set of wordmarks that were made as a bit of practice. Good to keep your skills sharp. #logo #logodesign
Lettering reading 'Oddball' inside of a rectangle. 'Speed Nog' with a series of lines through the word speed. 'The Breakwall' with a series of waves crashing over the top. The word 'Boogle' inside of an elongated hexagon.

A block letter Z with a needle forming the center line. The word "Holt" formed into a circular structure, with the capital H on the left, the o in the center, and the L and T on the right.

I like to experiment with the backgrounds on these from time to time. #logo #logodesign
A cartoon chipmunk along with several stars and the text 'Chip-Punk' on a sticker, stuck to a brick wall under a spotlight. The disembodied head of a man with a long, shaggy beard and a pair of sunglasses. A shield depicting a stylized set of piano keys, over a marble background. A wordmark reading 'Overext' that is half-filled with bubbling green liquid. The background shows similar green liquid with more bubbles.

A piece of client work for a tradesman here in mid-Michigan - who also happens to be my younger brother. The sparkle icon pops off to be used in small spaces. #logo #logodesign
Stainless Steve Polishing in script lettering, with a series of sparkles to it's left side. The sparkle from the previous logo on it's own. A little inside baseball here - the S shape is based on the chrome trim on the side of a classic car. Though I have forgotten which one specifically.

A new batch of fun logo designs. Just a bunch of marketable little guys. #logo #logodesign
A black cat wearing a jagged witch hat. A steamed bun with an adorable face sitting in a rainbow wrapper. A red balloon making the DreamWorks face. A line drawing of a skull with an enormous pompadour haircut.

Sometimes you can gain great creative inspiration from awful puns. #logo #logodesign
"Ampire Acoustics" - with spiky lettering that mimics vampire teeth. "Beet Writers: Vegetable Journalism Collective" - designed to look like a news service. It's logo is a trio of pencils stuck into a beet. "Broba" - a boba tea company logo owned and operated by bros. "Spider Web Services" - with a little spider hanging down from a thread through the first i.

Up in the middle of the night so I'm going to sling out some fun wordmarks. #logo #logodesign
Lettering spelling the word Palette, with the letter P dotted with various colors so that it looks like a painters palette. Grin Tam, which translates to Green Thumb, in vaguely the shape of a thumb. Big, blocky lettering reading 'Jacobi Destroy', along with a pair of hands pointing fingers. He/Hem, thin and with the slash in the center replaced with a needle, with a bit of thread through it. I did also do an alternate They/Hem version, but that is not posted here.

Some circular emblem logos today. #logo #logodesign
Two circular lines intersected by four parallel lines across the center, forming a C and a G within. A round association football crest type design depicting two vintage balls on either side, the words 'New Mexico City Football Club' around, and a slightly altered version of New Mexico's state flag design in the center. A logo depicted a stylized tennis ball with lettering over the center reading '10-S'. A car's steering wheel with a W in it's center.

It includes the name of the park, Lewis St Park, in blocky lettering as well as a similarly blocky tree. Mark for a sportswear company. The R is expanded outward to include the shape of a referee's redcard.

I have been posting practice logos on Instagram near daily for the past year. But with the direction that Meta is going right now, I'm not inclined to continue there and am left with a bit of a backlog. So, here are a few pieces of my work. #logo #logodesign
A ninja logo, depicting a four-bladed shuriken with a capital letter N at it's center. An extremely simple cartoon bigfoot. A round beaker filled with bubbling poison liquid that forms a skull, along with a pair of crossed test tubes also filled with bubbling liquid. A logo for a grocery coop with connected lettering, one section snaking over the other.

I know the saying goes 'don't judge a book by it's cover', but I absolutely do. I bought the book I'm reading right now, A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, in no small part because the cover looks neat.

I was watching some of those viral graphic design trend videos earlier this morning and one of them mentioned these bento box style poster layouts. I had never done one, so I decided to whip one up.
A series of logos presented as if they were items in a bento box.
