A Logo With Heart

Rachael had a vision of her logo and some great sketches worked out, but needed to get it into a digital format...that's where I came in. She sent me a scan of her sketches and I recreated them in Illustrator for her to see. From there we tweaked the one she liked and here is her final logo.

If you're looking for a photographer and you live around Spring, Texas, give Rachael a call!

Rachael - You were a joy to work with. I wish you all the best with your business!

I had the pleasure of working with Gayle on the logo for the Ontario Christian School annual auction for the second year in a row. This year's theme was Refresh ~ Renew ~ Rejoice...here's the final design.

Gayle - it was a pleasure working, again, with you and OCS. Hope the auction raises lots of money for the school...See you again next year!

A Fun, Funky Tweak

Megan had her basic design down, but could quite finish the logo. She sent it to me to tweak just a bit. Here's what we came up with.

All Is Well...

Diane was looking for a logo that portrayed help, hope, healing, peace, and tranquility. She wanted the logo to be eye catching but still professional. This logo has taken several different routes over the course of the design, but we finally decided on this one. Bright and bold, eye-catching colors with a wave design in the symbol.

Pink is the New Orange!

Why has ORANGE Gecko gone PINK?

The "Pink for October" campaign is about blog and website owners showing their support for breast cancer awareness by turning our sites pink for the month of October. So, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I've gone P-I-N-K!

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection. For more information, click here!

We all wear many hats

Tova contacted me about designing a logo to for her business that would be suitable for using on tags of her hats and accessories as well. Once we got the style down, it was just a matter of nailing down the colors. She was looking for something bright and fun. She also had me work on a version that just has blue colors.

Say It In An Ad!

Sarah wanted to send one last note of thanks to all her clients and asked me to design a small ad to be printed in a local publication.

Your ad can attract new customers, new prospects and leads, and encourage existing customers to spend more on your product or service. It can build credibility, establish and maintain your "brand" or unique business identity, and enhance your reputation.

One purpose in advertising is to inform or remind customers and prospects of the benefits your business has to offer them. Advertising will not guarantee quick sales for your product or service by itself, but it will get you noticed, if you do it right. Let me design an ad for your business!

just for fun...

this sweet set of colors caught my eye and I just had to share it. Very fresh, very clean, very fun!

Rockin' for TAPS!

...It sings because it has a song. - Chinese Proverb

Sarah Ra'anan had me design her original logo just over two years ago...since then, I've worked with her many times on templates for cards and storyboards. Over the years, her business has grown and her style has changed. With an upcoming move for her family as well as her business, she decided that now was the perfect time to revamp her logo.

I also worked up this little divider with her initials that she will be using to separate her posts as well as as her header.

Sarah - Thank you for being such an awesome client over the past couple years. I wish you and your family the best and hope that your move goes smoothly. I look forward to doing business with you again once you're all settled!

If you don't have the money to spend on a new logo design or the time to wait for one to be designed, check out the Swept Up Logo gallery to see if one of these designs fits your needs.
