Just a Concept.

Busy SEASON!

31 Aug

Been very busy. Unfortunately some of my clients do not wish to have their work displayed in my portfolio for fear of replication. i never thought about that..but they are absolutely right. Many brands are NOT original in their logo concepts and therefore brand confusion can surface. Rad concept ain’t it?

Anyway, a new company out of Brazil has been making some noise and guess who designed their new logo? Check the energy-hemled global logo after the jump

Loooong Story

19 Aug

Both designs was actually for one client. Not one to recycle designs I was referred to another client from one of my former classmates. Its for a new strength group for Minority Women.  I did some touch-ups and made their logo also. Saved me from having to spend hours in making another flyer..plus its high-quality design..no shortcuts!

Second design was for the original play. Didn’t use the design but still used it as a reference which lead me to some more play design flyer clients. Referrals are the best way, I find, in attaining great work.

Very fun project. Also interesting concept for a hardbook. I wanted to encapsulate all the manliness I can for this logo. In fact, I listened to some Crown heights affair and thought of frying up a slab of steak just for inspiration.  Client happy so its great! Check out the logo after the jump

Branding is becoming more aggressive and a bit more edgy..so I try best to keep to this formula. So far its been working for clients..so thats cool for me.Peep the designs after the jump

This week I got a chance to design a couple of more concepts.  Dudes who don’t respect and are intimidated by beautiful aggressive women will hate this t-shirt design. But it is what it is…..

As a designer we do not:

  • use clip-art
  • splash webdings on and call it “graphics”
  • use canned-designs we gave to other clients
  • cheapen their portfolios with low-grade designs because a company wants to pay 75 bucks for a logo.

You see folks, (fortune 500 and others) if you want FRESH, CLEAN, EFFECTIVE designs which will bring your company paying, loyal customers ….YOU MUST PAY FOR IT Continue reading
