Look ma! Let's put it on the fridge! Logos - Creative Lab

This, I think, is the first logo work I experimented with. I enjoyed it at the time, but this logo fails without the color - and I'm sure someone out there says it fails with the color too. Keep in mind, I said FIRST LOGO, so hold the arrogance for now.

Always brainstorming for a name, hence the blog name, this was one of my first attempts. But a generic name like this, not personalised, I think would get a bad rap if all the work behind that logo fell short of professional. And at the time, it did.

It's getting late now, but these entries for this part of my series, "Look ma! Let's put it on the fridge!" is motivating. Now my arrogance might show when I say, after a few entries, some of the self-harshness is deflating. What I realized about this though, was that it was purely digital. Designed in Fireworks, with the Fireworks alien effect in the background. Probably not the best idea to use a built-in feature, with little customization, as a trademark for your logo. I think they have legal names for it.

NOTE: No individuals were paid for this logo in any way. It is strictly a gallery object measuring and observing technique, education and growth within this area of my career. Hell, I didn't even pay myself. I started too. I put a buck in the jar, but took it out the next day out of self-loathing for my current state of affairs at the time. Note, also, the desired web presence.
