Bistro logo design
For this project we were asked to create a logo for the college staff bistro, I took alot of inspiration for my final design from 1950's diner logos, originally I had been against using a city background for the logos as i felt it looked overused and cheesy, however when I tried it for this logo it seemed to fit with it. This Logo was initially going to be my backup Logo but i had decided my first Logo did not appeal to the target market so i decided to work more on this logo.
The background was just made using a mixture of shapes on the shape tool, i then copied and pasted the background and turned it black to create a shadow.
Out of all my designs i feel this could be seen as an advertisement logo for a bistro.
Band Logo
I created this logo as a freelance project. A friends band were due to release their first album, I offered to design their logo for them. I began by researching famous band logo's to get inspiration to what suited them and the sound of their sound. I looked at various punk rock band logos such as Blink 182, +44, Paramore and Yellowcard. I took great inspiration from a Paramore logo I found during this research, the logo looked gritty and grundgy, by this point I had tried various different designs that were more on the safer side.
I created the grittier design on Adobe Illustrator, I started by typing the name in a simple text and font, to create the worn away, gritty look, I used a white graphite brush effect to go over the text.
I sent the Logo designs to the band and this one has been chosen as their official logo.
