LaunchPad Healthcare Logo

admin — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 05:35:55 +0000

While building a web site for LaunchPad, I realized they didn’t have a logo. Their name and value proposition of accelerating the launch of new healthcare products drove the need for a logo that conveyed the notion of action, and power, and getting things off the ground quickly. I didn’t want to be too overt with a rocketship, but thought a stylized version of a rocket’s thrust pushing it away from the launchpad conveyed the power we were looking for.

Fun little logo I came up with for my son’s little league team.

Here’s the logo I designed for my son’s youth soccer team, in context of the game banner featuring the team’s players and sponsors.

Clos La Chance Stompers T-Ball Team

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 06:02:19 +0000

Continuing the theme of designing logos for my son’s activities, this is a logo I came up with for his t-ball team. I actually suggested the “Stompers” name too, as the sponsor is a winery, and immediately had this idea for a logo.

Cinnabar Circle Logo

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:57:52 +0000

This is the logo I designed for my son’s “circle” of the YMCA Adventure Guides program. At first I was worried about the prospect of designing a logo based on a rock, but I was relieved to find that cinnabar actually occurs as an attractive red crystal.

Duff Research Logo

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:52:53 +0000

This is the logo I designed for a consultancy focused on the development of applications for mobile and embedded devices. The stylized D represents a mobile phone, like an iPhone or a Droid.

Comity Designs Business Card

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:58:28 +0000

I designed these business cards for Comity. The design features a simple and straightforward layout, but the cards are distinctive thanks to a background based on an abstract version of the “bug” in their logo.

Logo for Holly Barr, Realtor

admin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:02:13 +0000

When she started her real estate business in 2002, Holly was apprehensive about incorporating holly leaves into her logo. She was afraid it would seem “christmasy” all year ’round. I made the case that she frequently introduced herself as “Holly…you know, like Christmas” so it was pretty unavoidable. Furthermore, I believed that the simple mark of green holly leaves with red berries would be attractive, distinctive, and easy to apply to all of her materials and signage. She agreed, and today her logo is recognized throughought Willow Glen and the South Bay.
