End is the beginning logo

 

Hey everyone.. quite nervous about putting this up cos its very rough but so far what do you think of the layout and idea? I tot of having the wheel look like it was painted instead of something clean cos i think most of our styles are a bit more traditional and hand drawn and we want to differentiate ourselves from graphic designers. 

The font is just something I did by hand.. totally not final but thats the idea of the 'T' connecting with the wheel. The guinea pig I want to make bigger and push up a little more to occupy the space.. but like i said i don't have photoshop now so.. Prob can see this working both as a traditional looking piece and also vectorised. Also can see the circular bit with the words, animated and moving round and round and our little guinea pig's legs moving as well... would look cute as button badges? Please critique! 

oh! and i'm not finished with the design of the guinea pig.. i think he looks too much like a fat mouse now.. but I like the simplicity of the shape and the teeny legs.. I'll try one slightly furrier and white with a patch on one eye..

  1. This is great stuff!
    I love the idea of having a hand drawn feel to it.

    What colours were you thinking of using? I was picturing black with a touch of yellow. Maybe we could make it so that it can also work in only black and white - if we want to do black and white promo cards (much cheaper than colour).

    10 points to Levine for great concept and design!

  2. Hi all, I love the way the logo is going.

    A few suggestions...could the final "g" link into the inner wheel?

    What sort of expresssion do we want the GPig to have? She is looking a little sad and resigned here with those eyes. Maybe a happier, determined look would put forth a more positive can-do attitude? What do people think.
    I know its only a rough but it might make it easier if we sort a few of these things out early on.

  3. Hey Levene, lookin good so far! Maybe you could have the guinea pig curved around the wheel slightly? I liked your lino prints, perhaps do it as a lino print??
