The logo design depicts the calm over turbulant waters as a metaphor about investment strategies.

Your logo design must work on your website.

If you haven't noticed everyone and every company has a website. It is the marketplace. We think of "The Web" as website designs viewed on a computer screen but in reality more website views accrue on smart phone than on traditional computers. What does this mean for your logo design? It means most of the latest trends in logo design will guarantee your logo will not work in it's most viewed context, your, website with a smart phone.

Logo design is best when thinking is first applied.

Most of the latest logo design trends lean on computer technology rather than thinking power. There are so many logo designers now. Per capita we have more logo designers than ever before in the history of the U.S.A. You can get 30 designers doing 20 different designs in three days for only $29.99. or some outrageous scenario. But what kind of logo design do you get? You get a lot of computer trained designers that use technology gimmicks rather than the power of thought. Yes I can easily make a bee hive out of geometric flowers that are blowing in the wind, but will anyone be able to see in on a website, website banner ad or smart phone for that matter. Computer technology makes an abundant array of techniques possible now but it doesn't make them smart logo designs.

Logo design questions you might want to ask your brand strategist or graphic designer.

Can my logo design work as a favicon?
Can my logo design work as a button graphic?
Will that "cool" pattern, sleek transparency, or all those little geometric shapes be visible small, viewed on a smart phone?
When someone does see my logo design, what will it mean to them?

Beyond Napa corporate identity logo design applied to signage.

Creativity within the confines of simplicity can be the most difficult logo designs to develop. But, they can also be the best brand logos if the logo concept is also unique and engaging. The Beyond Napa logo combines two different elements, grapes and a cork screw. The two simple images are integrated by the cork screw which also appears as the stem of the grape vine. This interplay of images creates unique visual interest that holds the eye and communicates both wine and wine accessories. The cork screw / grape vine turning into the grapes implies authentic and pure wines. It also shows the interplay between the two aspects of the company, wine and wine accessories. The logo design also embodies an upscale Deco feel that fits perfectly with the Old Town District and the Plaza in Kansas City.

Timberline Steakhouse and Grill, Beef Logo Design, Restaurant Logo Design

Timberline Steakhouse and Grill offers a casual eating environment where rough wood beams meet concrete floors. On every table sets a galvanized bucket filled with shelled peanuts and customers are encouraged to throw the shells on the floor. The Steakhouse logo is designed to capture that fun and slightly irreverent attitude. Illustrated woodblock type angle and tilt along a mountainous backdrop all in a tree branch wood frame. Our approach was to encapsulate the Timberline attitude and give it a focal point, a context to understand the Timberline experience.

The best logo identities and branding work in black and white as well as color. Graphic design trends are now driven more by computer capabilities than by talent and vision. If a designer can’t draw he can always click simple repeated shapes, or plug in some gradations, or stripes, or dots, or lines. All are easy computer task. But, the most successful brand designs start with a compelling concept that functions well in black and white and small. In other words, the best logo designs work small in website or news paper ads as well as full color brochures. It takes hard work though, there are no computer tricks for that.

The Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is the image of Tanya Tandoc and a bowl of soup in the same image. The Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is a visual metaphor to show Tanya is the equal of a true artist. Tanya puts herself into her creations, her art, her soup.
In the logo design Tanya's face is the bowl, her mouth is the spoon, her eyes are splashes/droplets and her hair is the steam. All the graphic design shapes and lines of this logo where drawn and redrawn, then scanned into digital form and re-drawn digitally. All the graphic design edges and curves were smoothed and softened to invite the viewer and remind the consumer of how beautifully delicious Tanya's soups really are.
Tanya and the Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design and graphic design brand identity have become interchangeable, recognized as one-in-the-same. Her website design and Facebook persona allows Tanya to share her unique attitudes with her many fans and friends. All the graphic design in Tanya's brand identity reflects and has become the symbol for Tanya's amazing personality. Tanya has become more than a proprietor of a sheik restaurant, she has become a food goddess and a beacon for sub-culture lifestyles and attitudes. The early lines anticipating a bowl of Tanya's amazing soup often extend from one side of the restaurant to the other and even out of the door. Tanya has become famous in the Wichita area and well know in the highest perches of the food industry.

This brand identity video includes; logo design, website design, environmental and print.
