favourite logo/ design styles so far...

after my initial research into typographic logos i opted to look into typography that used silhouettes and mini designs to generate one image, i had a vague idea of how i wanted my typography to look but i knew that i also wanted to add in extra shapes and details to instigate some intricacy.

 i liked the design above because i loved the fluidity of the type which also matched the phrase, the phrase as one continuous line is a little hard to read but it mirrors the line which retains the overall continuity of the design. i wouldnt consider it for my own design but i like its simplicity and felt that it had a very vintage feel which is a theme that i am using as a basis for my website.

i loved the design above especially the typewriter font, a font that i am seriously considering for the main content of my website, and how it fits with the line design of the boat. there is a very hand-drawn line art style to the boat which i think gives it a fun element and i love how the anchor directs the eye up whilst the waves direct the eye to the text. again this isnt really a logo but once again i loved its style and how it integrated with the text on the side- it interlocks well which is something that i am seriously considering for my logo design.

i loved the rabbit poster i think its one of my favourite designs, but what most attracted me to the deign was its typography, each letter has been made to look like a rabbit (and although im not focusing on rabbits i am focusing on animal migration so it could be interesting to try and make my individual look like the species that i am focusing on) i  think the t is the best letter out of all of them because its a little subtler than the others more obscure which i find more interesting. i also really like the nest at the top and how the n and the t link to generate a nest like shape another possibility to consider.

this heading above has been made by the same person that created the rabbit poster above and i thought that it had a lot of possibilities, the m finishing in a tail was probably the aspect that i thought had the most promise. in regards to my own topic migration, certain species of fish are  migratory so i could introduce some form of fish tail at the end of one of my letters which would convey this.

the screen shot above is the homepage of a designer ryan scherf which ive included mostly because i like the rustic washed out style, colour scheme and the dashed lines which frame the name and the blue line in the centre of the frame. the design is both fun and natural which correspond with my themes and i really like the washed out texture to the page, the typography at the bottom is clear and works well with the design. ive already researched on site that manipulates a hand stitched style which i am reminded or when i look at the dashed outlines on this page ( i plan to somehow incorporate this dashed style into my logo which i think will work to create the handmade style that i want my site to embody).
