It's been a busy few weeks!

I STILL need to get round to photographing Sisters Avenue Brochure for not only blogging about but my new digital portfolio and website that i've spent the last few months working on, inbetween my day job, exercising and living! But its coming together slowly but surely. I'm aiming to get it up and running by the end of November/the end of the year.

But until then, here's a little re-brand i've been working on. ProLift.

Here's what they were using before, a hideous clipart shape teamed with a weird marble effect. yucky.



Heres what i'm thinking; a simple, versatile logo.

 

Branding - 'Ceh'

I started this project for a guy that approached me on twitter to have a look at branding himself as 'ceh'.  He was a web developer/designer and coded CSS/HTML. Unfortunately on my part, due to bad timing and work commitments overload this never got finished. Which is a shame, as i enjoyed working on it.

I tried to bring in a little bit of code, design and his personality to the logo. 

Different colour options;

Logo concept

So i haven't totally abandoned this blog! Its been hectic at work of late and also i've been blogging a lot more on my boring life, mostly dieting and stuff over on riots and diets (there a link over on the right hand side if you wanted to see.

This was a logo that didn't get chosen for a housing development in Felixstowe. Which i'm actually currently working on a hoarding design for, which i'll upload in a few days after i've worked on it some more. But i liked it, so i thought i'd share it.

Heres an initial sketch.

 

And heres the vectorised product.

unused logo concept

This wasn't chosen to put infont of the client, but i still like it.

This was for a (redesign) logo design for a local development in Hawkwell, Essex.

Hip City Cats Flyer

So i got asked again to do this months flyer for Brightons biggest northern soul night, Hip City Cats at the Jive Monkey. I designed another retro/vintage poster / double sided flyer. I'm in love with all of these typefaces at the moment, so it was a pleasure that i could use them all AT THE SAME TIME. (which is totally not supposed to work in the world of design, but this does)

Anyway. Here it is.

It's July, where has the time gone?!

I've been a busy bee these past few weeks, both in and outside of work, freelance and personal stuffs.
It's all good though, better being super busy than to be super bored!

Here's a logo i've been working on at work, for a small (think there's only 15 being built) new housing development in Clapham, London. Specification of these properties are very high.

Still in the early stages, but i'm going to be working on putting together a brochure for these properties,  the brochure will include embossing, foiling, metallics etc. Lavveelllyyy.

Logo design.

This wasn't the final logo the client went with, (they usually always pick the one you don't want them to pick, don't they?!) but this was my favourite.

Hand made typeface, reflecting the word.

Happy first day of Spring!

I have got a few bits to upload, but being so busy at the moment i haven't had the time to!

I'm not sure if i've blogged this before, but heres a logo and invitation i put together a month or so ago.

I haven't posted in a while so heres

a small logo i created for a competition called One Shot Movie.

small logo update.

Just a small something I've been working on this morning, a logo for a development in Campsea Ashe.



I have a few bits and pieces to upload here, the new website, wedding invites (these can't go online until after the day, don't want to spoil the surprise for the guests!)
brochures i've been working on etc.

Back to work, Busy busy!

Initial ideas on a re-brand

First thoughts on a re-brand.
Here's what they have at the moment.

They want to stay with the blue colour scheme, and suggested they same colours as the Travel Lodge brand. Heres what i'm initally thinking...





I can't help thinking that this reminds me of something i've already seen.. anyone else?

quick logo design for a new housing development

Is it possible to fall in love with a typeface? because i think i did.

I do enjoy a good cake

Logo design for Laurie Lee's Cakes

more dogs, cats, and small animals.

Another few logo designs for a local lady called Claire who pet sits cats, dog and other small animals.
Presented a couple of options, only two shown here. She chose the second option with the paw print.
My personal favourite was the one pictured below red and grey design.
Now it's onto Van Graphics.

I'm feeling the last one more than the others at the moment, but i'll see what other options i can think of first before taking it any further.

I really enjoy barns
