Here and Now

So I thought I'd take the time and compare my new personal logo with my old one. As a designer I obviously need a way to market myself, and an icon is probably the best way of doing that. Making the personal logo was an assignment for school, each about a year apart.

First Design

Originally I wanted something more illustrative. I went completely literal and drew myself and a simplified version of what I looked like. So I did a simple drawing of my face. At the time I was really unsure of where I wanted to do. So I just went completely literal and drew my face. Not as creative as I really would have liked. But it does sort of show off the somewhat illustrative style I have.

And of course the new logo. With my new logo I tried to go a bit more daring then what I might normally do. I still incorporate my name so it sort of shows me as a designer, a way to market myself. I tend to lean towards pastels and really lighter colors, which is why I chose the purple. I decided it would be a bit more daring to try something more vertical facing then horizontal or box. There's a bit of a limit for positioning, but the shape is memorable.
