Heather Hartley Hair Design

This is a logo that I designed recently for a brand new hair salon that has opened up in the West Yorkshire area.

Hartley Interior-Exterior Business Card

This is just a quick update from the Hartley Interior-Exterior logo that I put on here a few weeks back. As I said in that post the client was really happy with the logo and a couple of weeks ago he asked me if I could design him a business card too so this is what I came up with. I actually posted this the other day but for some strange reason my blog decided to break and delete the post so I thought I would post it again.

This is my dearest friend Leecia's photography and graphic design website. I would really appreciate it if you took a second and had a look and she would too, she does some amazing work!

Brown Photography

This is a logo that I designed about a year ago for a freelance photographer based in the West Yorkshire area. I started off by thinking of what kind of font I was going to use because originally I wanted to do a type based logo. The font that I chose to use is 'FF Meta', probably my favourite font ever (yes I'm a massive typography geek) which was designed by the amazing Erik Spiekermann who is my favourite graphic designer and typographer. I then started to draw different parts of a camera because I wanted to use a symbol on the logo too, I came up with my own version of a shutter that could be used on the logo quite subtle, but it could also be used on his photographs by itself as a sort of copyright symbol. I also played around with different colours and in the end I went with brown and black, firstly because the clients surname is 'brown' and secondly I thought the contrast between the two colours complimented each other perfectly. I was really happy with how this logo turned out and the client was too.

LCN Sweepers

This is a logo that I designed just over a year ago for a brand new road sweeping company. I wanted the logo to look very clean looking because it was been designed for a sweeping company and they want to come across as been clean and efficient. I also wanted it to look clean because it would eventually be used on the side of the sweeper trucks and various items of stationary etc. The idea behind the logo was to come up with a symbol that represented a brush, kind of like what they have on the side of the sweeper trucks. The symbol that I designed has two meanings, the blue parts are meant to represent the brushes and the white negative space inside that is meant to represent a cyclone because this is what happens inside the tank of a sweeper truck, think of it as a massive cyclonic vacuum. This was a really good project to work on and the client seemed really happy with the finished outcome. I will do a post with images of the vehicle graphics and stationary at a later date.

Go

This is a logo that I designed for a track lighting product, I had to come up with a name and an identity. I came up with the name 'Go' because it represents movement and one of the main selling features for the product is that it can be moved around and adjusted to the desired position. The idea behind the logo was to keep it simple but to also be clever, I came up with this symbol that says 'Go' but it also looks like the product that it's designed for so I was killing two birds with one stone. I really enjoyed working on this project and I would like to work on similar projects in the future.

Facebook Fun!

I participated in one of the less stupid and more creative in fact, games on facebook. Basically what you had to do was create an album cover with articles, quotes and images that were selected at random. I really enjoyed doing this and it killed like 15 minutes of what was a really long day.

If you want to give it a go yourself the rules are:

1 - Go to wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random Quotations"
or click www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar graphics editing program to put it all together.

5 - Post it to FB with this text in the "caption" and tag the friends you want to join in. (you can untag yourself from this photo)

Have fun!
