Redesign This: BP Logo

Design: “Thirst for Survival” Event

April 12, 2010 Art

I was approached last month to create T-Shirt designs and graphic elements for the upcoming “Thirst for Survival” Battle of the Bands event, which will take place at the Hub on 4/18 and 4/25, and being a charity event for a good cause and organized by the local Wellspring for the World organisation, I simply couldn’t refuse. [...]

Design: Y94 Playhouse Logo

March 12, 2010 Art

A little over a week ago, I was tipped about a logo contest for the popular radio show, the Morning Playhouse at Fargo’s Y94 station, and being the avid competitor that I am, I simply had to submit something. Couple of hours later, I had my quickly built set of four logos sent and accepted [...]

Redesign This: CornerStone Bank Logo

March 2, 2010 Art

This week I take on CornerStone Bank, a North Dakota-based bank with a swirly logo, which is trying too hard to shave the edges off its name and be more trendy. Too much is the keyword here. The original design seen to the right suffers from the spiral syndrome along with its nearest cousin the [...]

February 1, 2010 Art

A quick motivational poster design for my fellow programmers and coders: Just Code it!

Last week I dug up some of my early extra-curricular projects and logos that I’ve worked on from my days at Minnesota State University Moorhead. Here’s a selection of them: Tools used: Freehand & Photoshop

Design: Typographic World Map

August 22, 2009 Art

Here’s another cool project from my Design vaults: the typographic world map! I started this project initially in late 2002, with the intentions to mark each world nation with its national flag, few iterations later and I thought “wouldn’t it be cool to have their actual names displayed instead?” Bingo! I spent a couple of [...]

Design: FrontierTELCO

October 28, 2008 Art

Here’s one of my latest commissions for designing a complete logo and stationary package for a client that specializes in online phone and Internet services. The initial goal was to design the main logo for the main service, titled frontierTELCO, then modify it to accommodate PBO and ISP services. After several sketches, I decide to [...]

Design: Veracity Corporate Logos

May 13, 2008 Art

When Veracity Credit decided to update its Brokers division, I was commissioned through The Chiron Group to reconstruct their logo and create a new one for this particular venture. One thing that I love, is salvaging old logos from low quality, pixelated GIF files! There is a certain satisfaction gained from recreating boxy shapes into [...]

Design: AventureUSA Logo

May 1, 2008 Art

Designing logos can be an extreme sport at times, especially when your client is another designer and/or artist. Case in point: my work on Aventure USA, a travel agency for French tourists visiting the USA. The initial design process was very straightforward, create a simple, elegant graphic within the company name, without overly patronizing the [...]

Design: The Baskerville Poster

April 25, 2004 Art

As part of my Graphic Design studies in MSUM, Prof. Allen Sheets included several font studies in his curriculum, which I found to be incredibly impacting to my type utilization and appreciation. One of those memorable type faces was Baskerville, the better Caslon! Wikipedia tells us the following about the creator: The Baskerville typeface is [...]

Design: Podary Logo & Stationary

June 5, 2003 Art

Here is one of my earlier identity works for my Graphic Design classes in Lebanon. The goal was to come up with a catchy name and complete identity package for a fancy gift shop. The name was the easy part, podary in Russian means “to gift”, which sounds eloquent on its own. The design on [...]

Design: Bella Luna Café Logo

May 25, 2003 Art

If you recall my earlier post on Courtside Café’s logo, you’ll agree that Bella Luna Café’s logo was due for an update. The restaurant was designed and furnished in rustic colors and decorations, with an eclectic menu and diverse patrons. This combination of elements presented a fun challenge for the logo creation process, for which [...]

Design: Inpress Logo & Stationary

March 16, 2003 Art

Inpress is a printing press company and paper distributor that needed a new and fresh logo, with an impressing look. Using the basic black and magenta colors, the minimal design emphasised the name, along with the tagline and basic info. I’m a fan of the KISS principle, keeping things simple and straightforward should be a [...]

Design: The Bodoni Poster

February 1, 2003 Art

Class assignments are always fun and challenging for Graphic Designer majors, especially if you were lucky to be one of Prof. Allen Sheets‘ minions in MSUM. The early GD classes focused on study of colors, shapes, compositions and particularly font types, for which I studied and designed a display panel. The lucky font I ended [...]

Design: Courtside Café Logo

December 29, 2002 Art

During my first year in the States, I visited my cousin in Wichita, KS over the Christmas break, and it happened that he was expanding his successful restaurant franchise during that period. Bella Luna Café franchise was in negotiations with Genesis Health Clubs to incorporate its branch into the club’s several outlets. The eateries were to [...]
