I am partial to C myself, and the text on E.
You have some pretty amazing illustration skills, you've got a great handle on textures to from your work that I have looked at.
You go through any particlular books or tutorials to pick that up?

You certainly have an inspiring talent!

Rad! Do you have a background in graf?

Eraser: Thanks for the compliments. I have a illustrator background, so the sketch part is always fun for me. But I believe this hurts me when comes to thinking "simple" and "less is better" when comes to LOGO DESIGN. Most of my logos I believe are real UNprofessional, just because there is THAT illustration background. - something I am hoping to fix from this site.

Regarding Textures, well there is another habit I am trying to break. I use alot of noise, rust, rock, concrete, etc through different channel mask in photoshop. If I can see a little bit of grit on a design or logo then it feels "LIVED-IN", "USED" or just "AGED" for me, and most of my clients do like!

Basically I try anything that removes the "computer" feel to it.


IMAGE: Thanks, I do feel the same about alot of stuff I see here. Art feeds Art.

DELETEYOURSELF: No I don't, But certanly love that avenue of art

Here is another simplier version:

this turned out really nice. The look and feel of it all rocks man! totally a club look to it. Personally i really liked the concept of "C", but that's just me. Nice work!

I stay stick with your style. You have style that is unique and sets you apart. If your art is original there and eye catching enough there will always be a need for it. I think you should take the logo you did which is complex and layered, and reduce it to its simplest forms. I would love to see a one or color logo that is flat. It would challenge you some, and it would provide a lower cost logo they could use on press or on something that is smaller. Do I make any cents?

Out

Great illustrations skinns, I really like the way you draw! Like you said your logos look a bit too illustrated, but what the hell, it is your style and you should take advantage of it. I must agree with Mynock when he says:
And if you draw so well, why dont you use handdrawing for some illustrations (not as a logo, I mean)? Why vectorize it if i looks so good in sketch?

I like your sketches. Very inspiring.

Reminds me that I should do more concept sketches before going to vectors.

The pencil...such a humble tool, yet capable of so much
damn fine work skinns

I agree very nice work, and awesome sketches. But I do have one question, is this Vector or Raster?
