I want to share a small project I completed for a friend before Christmas. My friend is a budding poet and wrote a few verses about a hunt for a ‘marmalade bear.’ He was so pleased with it he asked me to illustrate it for him so he might give it to his grandchildren as a gift.
Below is the result.

This is a logo project I finished in the last few months. I thought it was interesting enough to share with everyone.

 
Ray-Box create bespoke lighting installations. They are pieces of art in their own right but are built to make a feature of any chosen picture. Abi B creates lightboxes that light up any photo, quote or image that the customer requests. They are made as interior decor features.

The logo needed to create a high quality, bespoke design impression whilst still giving the suggestion of the nature of the product.

 
I believe together the client and I worked together to create a logo that changed completely from the ideas we discussed in the initial consultations, but is successful in all the criteria we set out.
I like the clean simplicity and play on the idea of ‘hollywood’ spotlights to give the logo a playful edge whilst suggesting a high end product.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the results.

I’m pleased to share a project I completed recently for a new logistics company called Maze Logistic Solutions.

It’s always a treat to create an identity for an organisation with an instantly evocative name. It’s a particularly clever name for a logistics company, whose job it is to find solutions in complex situations.

The downside of such an instantly likeable name is that you have to be careful not to come up with anything too over the top or obvious.

 
I believe the design I’ve come up with treads a fine line between an being an obvious reaction and being too subtle. To me this balance is very pleasing.

I’d be interested to hear you thoughts.

 
A while back I wrote an article for Design Informer. It’s now been published, please visit Design Informer and give it a read.

It’s titled “Ignorance is Bliss for a Creative Mind.” It’s all about not being afraid to say those three magic words: ‘I don’t know!’ Then making sure you follow through by finding out.

Jad Limcaco has done a great job of styling the article, plus there is a small bonus comic strip to help illustrate the points made.
