Project 2 - Design 4 logos


I liked this project.  Took me a while to put ideas on paper, but once I got going I really enjoyed tweaking the ideas in my head, to paper, to vector.

My first logo is for a jewelry/accessory line for tween girls ages 9-13.  The brand is Just4us or Justus and I created the heart using the ellipse tool then added some shapes using the pen tool to give the heart some depth.  Finally I used Scriptina (free font), expanded it (created outlines) then used the pathfinder to minus the script from the heart shape after I got it just to where I liked it.

Second logo is a high end fitness club just for women.  The brand is The Firm and it is targeting women aged 40-49 with high income.  I found a fit woman and used her image to make my own vector art. Added some hair and made her flex.  I then chose a script font and a more modern business type font to complete the logo.  I'm going for a balance between work and personal life.  The firm having two meanings, firm as being in shape and firm like business firm. I went deep on this one.

Third logo is for men aged 25 and under with 25 low to mid income.  I chose an energy drink product and the brand is called Oomph Energy. I toyed with having the O's look like wheels and spinning out, but I didn't like the way it turned out. It was too cartoonish.  I did however like how the MPH is in the word Oomph, turned that into a racing thing, speed, energy. I rolled with it.  I used the pen tool and ellipse tool to create the speedometer.  Used a digital font and a modern artsy font.  I skewed the word Energy to give it some movement and used a gradient fill on my speedometer also for movement.


Finally, my last logo is for 70+ yr old men with mid to high income. I chose a dating site.  The brand is called $ugarDaddy.com. Pretty much self explanatory, I just had fun with this one.  I vectored some shades, took the sugar daddy name and then minus from back on the pathfinder tool.  Then I tried to make the .com part look like a nose.  Pretty basic, hope it gets the branding across well enough.

  1. Very good! Those look very realistic. I could see them being advertised somewhere. I really like The Firm. I'd like to know how you did that.

    1. For the Firm logo I placed a photo of a woman and just used the pen tool to create shapes to represent the shadows on her upper body. The hair was totally made up because she had her hair pulled back.

  5. Your logos made me giggle when i saw them (particularly the sugar daddy one)
    They fit perfectly for all the assigned age groups while staying away from generic!

  6. Great job on the logos. Each one has a uniqueness to it. i like how the text connects to each individual logo. a lot of thought went into it. Theyre both interesting and funny which makes it catch your attention

  7. Very creative. The fitness logo is extremely Well-done and is a true logo ad it would work as any color even black and white. I think the energy drink is veary creative but it reads to me as 00MPH or 0mph. so as compared to the 100mph the needle is as im only going 0mph. I think by incorporating a 1 into the logo as a different color would help it read better without loosing the name.

  9. All four of these are really nice and clean. The heart one is simple but very clean as well as the firm one. I like all of these because they could easily be used in color or black white and still have the same effect when being used. nice work!

  10. Overall great job. The only thing that gets me is the .com on the sugar daddy website. It seems a little off, but I'm not sure what it is.
