Threshold Properties

Threshold Properties is a real estate investment company from Belvidere, Illinois. They wanted some sort of archway or entryway that is grand looking, professional, and feels welcoming incorporated in their logo. Snapshots below include a few of the early drafts, and the finalised version of the logo.

GWhiting

Logo design for Geoffrey Whiting, professional writer, copy editor, digital publications specialist, and content marketer. (Web: www.gwhiting.com)

When I talked to Geoff about his business and needs for the logo, he said that getting people to click through to the Work page on his website and on the content there is the key to converting a lead. I could see why; his work is impressive in breadth and depth of knowledge. This inspired using an owl for the logo - a symbol associated with the goddess of knowledge. He also asked me to avoid using a large quill or pen or similar obvious, cookie-cutter icons; I did use the pen after all, but hidden within the owl shape to make it more fun.

Team Metrics

Logo and brand design for a new business from Bicester, UK, that analyses team cohesion and performance and delivers analytical reports and suggestions for improvements. This job was to design a logo and a design guide covering the basics of the brand identity and UI design for their application (colour palette, typography, icons, buttons and UI controls, etc.). Client requested clean and crisp, a tone of friendly sophistication, and to integrate three of their signal colours into the logo.

Exhedra Technologies

Logo design for Exhedra Technologies, a business and project management consultancy from Germany.

Exhedra Technologies was named after an architectural element where, as the client succinctly put it, wise men discussed together. He wanted something a bit more upbeat than the usual conservative designs, so we went with simple shapes and bold colours; but because it also needed to work for client's target group - banks, telecommunication companies, insurance companies - logo symbol was shaped so that it's symmetrical and growing, implying stability and strength, while still opening from the inside out to invite the viewer in for a communication.

Mirko Kovač

For Mirko Kovač, attorney at law from Belgrade, I designed a logo inspired by a wax seal he'd bought on one of his journeys. Balancing his desire for the logo to match a classical-looking seal with his liking for some of our team's previous work which was quite minimalist and flat, I made a mark that resembled the type in the seal, but could be used with elements that gave it a hint of a third dimension. The colour scheme, as well as a subdued, businesslike bluish grey, includes accents of lively orange which I discovered was Mirko's favourite colour - one that I thought reflected his warm and nonconformist personality.
