Description: Three different logo designs for the same company.
Process: I really enjoyed this project and coming up with different design options and then figuring out how to use Illustrator to make these ideas come to life. My company icon was a lioness, so I looked online for ways I could implement it. I found a lioness face shaped necklace using different shapes and knew this could turn into a unique and cool icon. I played around with the tracing features and used the pen tool and eraser both to come up with the finished result. The crown was added to give a touch of femininity. In the middle design, after typing a monogram I turned those letters into outlines and manipulated the J to fit my design needs. Another exciting thing I discovered was how to type text on an outline for a badge feel. With my typography I used two different fonts to create contrast as well as using color schemes. I also found a lioness running that I placed into illustrator and then used the pen tool to outline the shape of a running lioness.

Jodi, great job on your logos! I really like the first and the third one. I love how you played with the shapes to get the jaguar’s face, super cool. I love the colors that you used and the creativity to put a crown on the jaguar’s head. The third one is nice and clean. Very modern and easy to read. I like the gradience color in the words. Great job!
I would love your feedback on mine!

I really like the lioness part of your top two logos. It’s very clear and iconic. It’s difficult to come up with something that doesn’t look like anything else and I think your lioness head is very original. Of the three, the top one is my favorite. I like the font on the bottom and the way the logo looks on black.

I love the image you made in the first two logos! It’s sort of complicated, but at the same time it is pretty simple when put all together. I thought it was a nice touch that the colors for “runlittlejo” was consistent through out. I think my favorite is the top one, simply because it runs more heavily on the design. Nicely done!
