Logo ideas

'Alchemy' symbol

When thinking about creative cvs I would like to have a small logo or recognisable image at the top of the cv. I liked the geometric shape logo that D.R.E Illustrations used and tried to create something similar. I think geometric shape logos like this are very striking and easily recogniseable, it would be useful to have one for my identity as an illustrator, then I could use it as a stamp on my books or on the spine. I would use the symbol in all my promotional work and illustrations to represent myself and show what I do.

my logo idea

I chose a simple triangle and circular segments, which could suggest a face it looks best pointing upwards. I tried a few quick varaitions digitally and will try on illustrator later on in the design process. I like the addition of the diving line but think the others look too much like faces.

As much as I like the simplicity of the geometric shape logos I'm not sure that they represent my practice completely because I am not a digital artist.

Possible icon/ logo

I took this image from a piece I had done as part of my work on 'remnants' the illustration was done using ink and watercolour wash and I liked the way they came together in this small face. I feel this icon is more symbolic of the work I do but, unlike a geometric logo, it may not always be relevant to the work I do for example a children's book. I will try to combine these two methods and create a stencil for the geometric shape to see how it would look produced that way.



I made a stencil of my geometric logo shape and then sponged over it with water ink and watercolours so that I would have a simple design produced in my inky style. I then edited the inky design using Photoshop and my graphics tablet. I think this logo is a good combination of a simple easily reproduced and recognisable logo with also some inky interest.
