Before I started my work again on Adobe illustrator, I first needed to construct some ideas of how my Logo design could be constructed (see picture above).
I had to create a series of ideas related to our client (which was ourselves) and incorporate them into our designs. Since I am an Otaku (a geeky nerd who is obsessed with anime/manga) I have revolved my experimentation, such as drawing an anime character throwing the name of the company (temporarily known as 'Jordan Snowden'), Constructing my name in a typical manga font with the Japanese translation below or placing the company name within a sword shaped object.
The custom logo of interest in my opinion was....
Within Anime, my interest of the character is revolved around his/her sanity. Researching the many different logos, there are some that use two different images and merge them together, sometimes impling a double meaning, others to make the logo name sound catchy. I designed a dice and an Anime face (looking insane, obviously) combined together, forming the logo name 'DICE FACE', with dice spots for the gaps in the letters.
The Process was long and tedious, as I had to trace over the drawn design with the god forsaken pen tool, and having to remove certain shapes with the god forsaken 'minus front' option. A lot of grouping was involved in the process too, highlighting all the shapes and giving them the same colour design.
Once I have finished with the logo, I then experimented with various tools and effects to achieve an overall 'unique' design, such as zooming and expanding to transforming them into completely metallic designs (See below)
