Time to dissect a logo

 

Lion Bird created by Nashifan

 I fell in love with this logo. Wait let me clarify I love the art for this piece. I love how they used a single image of a bird but the way the bird is our eyes instantly fill in lion face.  The only thing I didn't like about this logo was the text at the bottom I feel like the image itself was strong enough on its own.

Ghostbusters logo do not own 

The ghostbusters logo is instantly recognizable. The contrast of colors is extremely dynamic and eye catching. It has become so well known in our culture that we don't need to have the name of the company around the logo.

 

Mooby's ad featured in the ViewAskiew Universe

The Mooby's logo is from the fake company featured in many Kevin Smith movies.  This is one of the few ads that I think that they need the image and the photo. Mooby's is a fictional fast food place targeted towards everyone but the childlike image is clearly geared towards children. 

Moe's Southwest Grill

 

I have noticed that pretty much all fast food places have either red or yellow and sometimes both.  I read up and apparently it is because these colors make you hungry.  I do like all the warm colors in this piece and black outline really makes the name stand out.

Pixar Animated Studio's logo

 I love how playful the pixar logo is, and how they incorporated a bit of their history into it as well.  The lamp was from one of the first short films they created Luxo Jr.

If I could start a business about anything what would it be

So as part of my first assignment in my digital arts class I must come up with about 5 idea of different companies that I can see myself creating designs for. Sure, sounds simple enough . . .

1. RSM Graphics
2. Red's Rescues
3. The Doll Enchantments
4. The Bakery
5. Every Little Thing Store

So off the top of my head I thought of doing something more realistic and practical, making art stuff for me and try to brand RSM Graphics to be more than just all my emails.  I have a place holder type design but I am not sure if I am completely in love with it. So that would be fun to work on a logo that I could later transfer from online to print. 

Then I also got the interesting idea of maybe doing something like Red's Rescue.  The whole thing would be that Little Red Riding Hood and her team of fierce cape wearing do-gooders would rescue you from evil creatures.  So if you have a problem with wolfs, bears, and/or fire breathing dragons they will come to your aid and take them out. 

(That idea is my favorite.) 

Then I was also thinking about doing something creepy (well creepy to others) and having a doll shop. I would take normal looking ball jointed dolls and manipulate them to look scary and expand on that by adding the doll houses.  Oh even better take a cue from the anime world and create a store that will turn your beloved doll or child hood companion and enchant them to do certain things. Each level on enchantment would be priced hirer than the last but this would allow the person purchasing them to choose if they want their beloved childhood ballerina Barbie to have a personality of her own or sing out your favorite songs like an ipod, yeah I think I like this idea better. 

Then after those brilliant ideas I completely tapped out of mana and had to restart the whole mission. That's when the mediocre ideas came to to mind; such as a bakery and an Every Little Thing store. The bakery would be able to make you anything you want in the whole world and be able to ship it there too, WITH  a personal caroler that will sing out a lovely little tune.  The Every Little Thing store would be a physical local where they sell everything; however, even though they might sell everything known to man there is no guarantee that they could instantly find it in their backroom so they might have to actually ship you the item two to three days later. 

Now that I typed all these out again I can't decide which company I want to create. I really like the little red riding hood idea as well as the doll enchantments.  I already have an imagine in mind for Red's logo but I do have a doll that could possibly help me out with future projects for the doll enchantments. I think I am going to sketch a little and play around with stuff before I truly decide. 

(I just read this over again and I realized I write exactly how I speak, that's probably not a good thing)

Why hello there

So the purpose of this blog is really for my beginning digital art class but I am hoping to continue it to be something more. What that something is I am not even sure of yet. 

But I guess I should write a little about myself now shouldn't I? (I spend most of my time working out all my thoughts by voicing them. I swear it isn't mumbling or psychotic.) 

I am the only daughter. The only granddaughter. The middle child.  

I have two brothers. One ten years older. One ten years younger. 

I was left to my own devices. I picked up a pencil, charcoal stick, marker, pastel, anything that would leave an impression on paper and began to create. I write html and its dialects. I have worked with Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop.  

I consider myself an artist of all trades. I don't know what I officially want to do once I graduate but I do know that the list of options will be limitless.
