dsaline97 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 All,I've created a monogram and word mark for me to use as I work toward my graphic design major this fall. I don't really have an audience, clients, or an overwhelming portfolio, but I thought a strong and fairly unique identity would be a great place to start.View the full project on BehanceThe slash in the DS makes a cross in the negative space, which represents my Christian faith and how I show that to others through my attitude and service. I tried to convey it in an appropriate way--not in your face or blatantly obvious, because that's not the kind of way I want to present myself. Hopefully this doesn't pose an issue here, and I hope I executed it well.Thanks for taking a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The presentation is nice enough, but when I first saw the initials I was thinking "G S" because of the slash tbh. Never would've thought the slash was for a cross until you told me (though now that i have, I can't help but see it haha). Anyway, I hope that didn't come off as Critical so much as just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what I was going for, something you wouldn't necessarily see unless pointed out to you, so it isn't overwhelming or forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I definitely don't see a "G".....I guess I can see where it may look like one, but I think it's a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think my eyes are wanting to see more than what's there b/c I'm getting some Big Ten logo vibes just from the color and the fact that my brain keeps wanting to make the "D" a combined 1 and 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I definitely don't see a "G".....I guess I can see where it may look like one, but I think it's a stretch.I agree. And I didn't notice that it was a cross right away, but like Arts11 said, it can be seen clearly when pointed out. Overall, it looks really clean and sharp! Good job!

nuordr Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like this logo and love the cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammysticyte Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Is there a reason the cross isn't perpendicular? Being at an angle adds a unique element, but being perpendicular might make it cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being at an angle adds a unique element, but being perpendicular might make it cleaner.Basically to give a little motion and interest to an otherwise flat design. I think perpendicular would make it look pretty stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The cross should definitely remain slanted. While a little on the simple side, this looks really nice. Love the presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
