Personal Logo

My logo

Why?

My logo has is an oval that is black and has a "B" in the negative space. The "B" is in the font of Bifur. The reason I chose this font is because it is the font I got when taking the quiz to see what font best represented us. 

This font represents me because it is different from most fonts and is harder to see what it really is at first, you have to think for a moment and see what the word/letter really is. 

The lines in my logo are vertical which symbolizes growth and life which is very fitting because I still have a long life in front of me and time to grow. 

The oval symbolizes balance which is something that I work towards. I sometimes become overwhelmed about little things like tests, but when I catch myself I put everything in perspective and become more balanced. 

Black is the color I used for my logo and the physiology behind that is independence and a strong will. It also means sophistication and confidence. Black can also symbolize a transition in life and I believe that I am going through that transition from a child into an adult. 

The Process:

I started by simply drawing in my sketch book. I used a variety of shapes and symbols along with my initials. Then I got on to Adobe Illustrator and created 4 art boards; from there I started to create some of the designs I had made in my sketches. 

Once I started to come up with ideas, I played around with more shapes and fonts to design even more logos. I was able to learn more about customizing font to make it your own. In many of my designs I messed around with different fonts, while adjusting them so they were different than anything else.

 Also, I played around with gradients and back/front glow.I feel that I did a great job with trying different things and coming up with my own ideas. I never got stuck on one thing. Whenever I had no creativity, I just took a break and did something else before trying again. 

Next time I would spend more time sketching because with more sketches you have more ideas. I would also look at other people/companies' logos to get ideas. Something I need to work on more is a 3D look and maybe some textures or opacity changes.
