rentz Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hello everybody. I am an aspiring graphic designer, and the couple of threads on personal logos recently inspired me to make my own.I was playing around with my initials (AR) and came up with this: it's an ambigram with the two letters.So, I'd like to see what you guys think of it... I like it, it kinda gives a fun, 'groovy' feel.All C+C appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I see "nole" in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockngoalie1 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I like it, but it reminds me of Spongebob with the bold curves and sharp corners. If you could make it (for lack of a better word) generic, I think it would look better. Maryland Terrapins Uniform Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I see "nole" in there too.I see a beaver in there as well Seriously, nice work. Fine for a personal logo, but a little too dated as a designer logo. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

rentz Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I'm in high school so this is just sort of an exercise for me, nothing serious... but still, looking at the logo now, it is a bit more Spongebob/Willy Wonka than I intended. So here's a couple more drafts of it.The first two are simply variations of the original, but I'm moving away from that direction. I quite like the two in the top right, however my apprehension is that it may initially appear a little swastika-ish, especially to someone looking at it and not knowing what it's supposed to be... that would be bad! The bottom four were attempts to "professionalize" the logo, as I tried to reduce the grandiose curves and other things that made the original a bit whimsical. There's also another version as my current avatar. And yeah, all of them are ambigrams.@ scotty: wow, I can see the nole in there too! I can assure you it was unintentional... perhaps a Freudian design??All C+C is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Sorry for the double post, but I was experimenting with Ink-Splatter type stuff and got this. Yeah, I know it's terribly trendy, but I like how it came out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I love it. How long does it usually take you to successfully create these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rentz Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's an R.As for how long it takes to create-- conceptually, or on the computer? Because it probably took 15 minutes of doodling to come up with the idea, and maybe 10 in inkscape to render it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasatch Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well regardless, that's pretty impressing that you can come up with these ambigrams on the fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
