Logo Design Work
Logos can be as simple as your business name in a distinctive typeface.
They can become more complex with the addition of an image, drawing, or symbol.
The important thing is that the logo be usable in many circumstances. An
intricate, complex logo that might look great on a letterhead, will not lend
itself to the small version required on a business card or envelope.
It is marvelously inexpensive to include color in your
logo for a website, but
will the same logo still have power when the color is taken away on your
business card or bill head where the cost
of adding color may be considerable?
An aspect of my logo design work is intensely questioning you about your business,
your intended audience, your approach to your business, anything in fact that
might influence how I think about your business when I am designing. A logo must
reflect the business to which it is attached. And, it must be something you live
with for a long time.
When I'm working I make endless sketches on paper and on the computer. Every
once in a while I will print out a version and tack it on the wall—so that
I can live with it. Look at it with fresh eyes when I get up in the morning. It
doesn't take long for there to be several versions up. At some point, there
is some last change, perhaps miniscule, and then I see that it is done.
When you contract with me for a logo, I will make three, based on information
you have given me about your business and your preferences. I will show them to
you and you'll say what you like and don't like about them and we'll zero in
on the one closest to what you want and decide what changes to make. I'll then
incorporate the changes to it and pass it by you once again for your approval.
