logos

Very important, a logo. No go with no logo they say as far as identity and branding and t-shirt sales go, that's for sure. So today I made 15 pages of them and will make 15 more or so, logos that is shortly. Here they are http://www.design2d.co.uk/daily_object/april_2008/1.htm . Will push boundaries with the second batch. Would grade them as 60/70% interesting/amusing so far. Have to raise the logo bar as it were.

 

Could of course do some research, be more thorough, pastiche examples from specific places and eras, could do. but then again am not being paid. But money isn't everything. No it's not. Perhaps I would if the audience was there, this is showmanship then? no. It;'s not? no. Who are you talking to? I don't know.

 

What is the motivation?

 

Not sure. Humour/making something/factor X/...

 

Logos. There is a practise I have encountered during freelance contract work of tracing actual company logos for use in documents. Bizarre. Illegal of course, could simply ask the company to send a copy. They could refuse but then wouldn't that be absurd? Their logo is a public badge. If they said 'well what are you going to do with it?' surely you could say, 'what does it matter to you, it's all publicity etc.!'
