Logo Design

At the beginning of this year I made this personal logo. I had little experience and knowledge of logo design,  and this is what I came up with.



For my final logo, I wanted to go with the theme of simplicity and feathers. The overall concept is bohemian with contrasting colors.


The industry I would be entering is bohemian-chic. These logos gave me inspiration when creating my own logo.


These logos are what I came up with. All are simple with no restricting border shape- such as a square or circle. My favorite one is the letter T with the feather going through the letter. I made many different color schemes and one in black and white.


This logo is my favorite and my final design. I chose the navy and light green because the colors can appeal to both males and females. I like the simplicity of the type face and the feather.

This is the logo "used in action" on my business card.  Since my logo is simple, I kept the business card simple as well. I left an asymmetrical white border around the side and kept some dead space in the middle.


For a web banner, I used a different logo design I came up with. Since a web banner is so wide, I didn't want to use my small, letter T logo. There would have been too much dead space, so I used an additional design. I dragged the feather to the opposite side of my name to add detail and get rid of dead space. To add pops of color I made lines of solid color and made some lines with a water-color brush for contrast.

  1. Nice job with your logo. I like how you were able to take the one idea you had and create a new version for the web banner. I understand the unrestricted idea and the freedom associated with it but would like to have learned more about the symbolism around feathers ad why they might be correlated with a bohemian culture. Plus, what is the industry you are going into that is "bohemian". Did you know Kansas City actually have a pretty established bohemian side of town that comes straight from KCAI? If you are interested I'd love to share or answer any questions you might have.
