Logo Design

Old Logo

Here are some of the beginnings of a logo/redesign for Empower Wyoming.  I will have more for this project next semester.  I was able to try the technique that Bill Garner taught us with this.  That is where much of the imagery came from.  I am not sure that I am too happy with them so far.

I started off trying to represent a female form and mountains in the top two.

Here are some possible business card layouts.

I feel like I am struggling with this one....but it is in progress.

Files and business cards

I have also been learning the importance of importing photographs and how much of a pain it is when files are not properly inserted into documents. Most every project that was passed on needed to logos replaced. This made simple projects like already designed business cards a somewhat difficult task. The files were all transported via cds and the logos were separate from the other files.

I have also learned that Apple D is my favorite quick command in InDesign.  Not remembering this caused many problems early on.

These are almost final. I think we will be getting rid of the facebook page on the business card.

The letterhead matches the business cards

Letterhead 1

  A fun little extra.

Christmas Letterhead

There is also a more plain version of the the letter head.  It looks like the one above but the mountains are on top.

Shipping Card

Here is some work for one of my clients, Anna. They had their logo which consisted of the girl (needs to be above some solid shape), mountains, and the "Beatnik Mountain: For the adventurous in mind and spirit."  Anna said that they wanted letterhead, new business cards, a bumper sticker, and thank you cards.

I worked on the letterhead and business cards one day and will work on the other items once these are decided on.  These are not the finals; I am still waiting on feedback. 

Here is the original business card.  They were all the same.  The ladies at Beatnik Mountain wanted some variety.  I used the colors that already go with their various products to keep the look together.

Here are the new cards.  I simplified the mountains.  I also changed the typefaces to match the one in the logo instead of having four.  There are three versions and three colors.  I am not sure if this client will decide to do all the same color and design or choose to go with three colors and three designs.  I like the three colors and three designs.  The three colors could match the letterhead style that we end up going with.

Project Updates

Things are starting to make a bit more sense. The project for Georgia is coming along. The files for the video and catalog are now in one spot, instead of three CDs. Once those two are finished, I will relax a little bit. The transition was rough. Soon all of the files that I need will be on one flash drive.

This week I also talked to another client. Kate’s business helps people rewrite their stories, essays, and books. She was trying to combine two clip art images for her website. I redrew them; I think we will be editing the drawing into a logo of some sort.  She needed to drawing for her web designer for the next day.
