We are a company that makes home discovery easy. Find your home in one weekend. No appointment required. Urban and modern living is at our core. Minimalistic and cocky. We don't want a separate icon, just the name with a nice font and something incorporated in it.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72813/attachment_72813883 "Initially the \"Y\" in the name inspired a boat prow design. By making the \"H\" and \"Y\" shapes the same the illusion of a reflection in water could be achieved. To give the design depth varying thickness were used. As yachts come in many shapes and sizes I didn't want to use a real silhouette. The colours were chosen based on an idyllic sea such as in the Bahamas.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72216/attachment_72216844 "The icon uses negative space to create an interlocking W and M surrounded by the L which is repeated in negative to form the \"Chicago Loop\" going around the centre. The shapes can also be read as buildings or streets.
The icon can be rotated 180 degrees to read exactly the same but in the colours are reversed.
As the icon is a strong image, the font and styling of the text have been kept low key. The font is Bank Gothic with the W, M and A modified to balance with the icon. This font was chosen as the shapes again reflect the \"Chicago Loop\" particularly the \"O\" and therefore create a harmony between the icon and text.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/95/95129/attachment_95129635 "The inspiration came from the design concepts used by Goldroom which was liked by the contest holder. The font is designed specifically for this logo")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72395/attachment_72395138 "The bold black text emphasises the idea of the name by making EGO look weaker in outlined text.
By turning the text 45 degrees the NO and GO can be read in 2 directions further emphasising that part of the name.
The 3 parts are linked by a happy line both outlined and solid. The composition also looks balanced.
The font has been simply constructed from rectangles and circles.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72391/attachment_72391084 "The client wanted a logo that could stand alone but also be part of the text logo.
The logo design suggests a designer bathroom with a hint of wall tiling and aqua for water.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71755/attachment_71755238 "Key features of the design:
- Hexagons / piles to represent the origin of the name.
- O and I connect the pile and hexagon shapes into POSTPILE and form the transition.
- The combination of the piles and hexagons can be seen as a forest (negative space) - to represent the outdoors (particularly for people who aren't familiar with the National Monument - I'm Australian and didn't know about it until this contest.)
- The text is can be seen as either under or in the \"tree canopy\" to give the idea of outdoors and camping. (depends whether you look at the positive or negative space)
- The font used is \"Avenir Next\" but each letter has been modified slightly. This font unmodified would be suitable for your general use in all its weights.
- POSTPILE with the 2 hexagons can be used as a standalone image.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/74/74158/attachment_74158645 "The building has a strong square window element which has influenced the choice of font and the logo.
By using the \"X\" rather than the \"E\" it emphasises the \"ex\" and gives a dynamic to the logo.
The fresh green colour was chosen to complement the red-brown on the facade as well as give life to the design.
The logo will stand out as different and trendy.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72790/attachment_72790270 "This design is based on the idea of kids playing with triangular (prism) building blocks to create the word \"PLAY.\"
PRISM is also built on the same triangular grid.
The entire design is built on a large triangle.
Colours used are the basic colours we use with kids rather than more adult versions.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71921/attachment_71921331 "Using the vocabulary of a circuit board, I've created a special font for the numbers.
The two 20's are linked together by the 4.
The zeros have used the computer style with the diagonal line through the 0 which ties them style wise to the 20.
The colours are your requested colours. I've also shown a black and white version.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72222/attachment_72222707 "The logo uses minimalist design principles. This suggests lean and fit.
The main text is specially created for the logo so that it works together. The angle gives the design energy.
The slogan uses a standard font.
The 75 is the main feature around which the other parts work to tell the whole picture of your business
- The design is contained in a box with only 75% of the border - the food you supply
- the bottom open border represents the 25% exercise by the customer
- \"In A Box\" is contained within the 75 with \"BOX\" being the most contained to emphasise that idea.
- the black is used as the container with the orange and green for the fresh food that you supply.
- the white text is a finer line so that the 75 is the dominant part.
- The slogan is included within the design using the green.")
Sobre
Graphic design is my passion in retirement after a career as an Architect.
Since retiring, I've been practicing my graphic design skills on greeting cards and prints which I sell online via Etsy and eBay stores. I also sell my designs on merchandise via Redbubble.
I'm intrigued by and love exploring logos and how they can communicate more than just a name. The same thought processes used as an architect are now used when designing a logo.
