Logo Design
- I’ll design a logo for your business, website, public persona, or app.
- We’ll discuss the kind of logo you need; your input is paramount every step of the way.
This is my own personal logo.
After a lot of brainstorming, I had the idea to combine my family crest—a bull’s head—with the nib of a fountain pen.
Want a professional logo for your business but don’t know where to start? Looking to build a presence online? Or maybe you just value your privacy and don’t want your face on every social media profile you have? Whatever you need it for, a memorable logo is essential.
I’ll help you make your mark with a logo you can be proud of!
- You’ll receive your new logo in various formats:
- scaleable vector graphic (.svg) that will scale infinitely, so you’ll never be stuck with too small an image.
- Image files of various sizes (.png) with full transparency, so you can put your logo anywhere you need it.
- Single-colour white and black versions of your logo (.png), for when colour isn’t an option.
- A compressed version of your logo (.jpg) that takes up less space, for when you need to upload it to social media.
Success Stories
Melody E. Benbow
I designed this wordmark for Melody E. Benbow, a local Celtic folk musician. It took me some time to get the lettering right, but Melody was thrilled with the result.
For the banner, we decided it would be cool to use one of Melody’s paintings as a background. Melody really likes blue, and it was challenging ensuring this very blue-heavy painting wouldn’t render the blue wordmark illegible. Luckily, I managed it in the end.
ORAVIBE
I designed this logo for ORAVIBE, a local didgeridoo & beatboxing teacher and musician. We started with a sketch he’d drawn, and I thickened the lines and refined the curves till he was happy with the letterforms.
Finally, I added some extra flair in the form of a didgeridoo combined with a microphone. Originally, I tried to add a lizard to the design on the didgeridoo, but it didn’t work at smaller sizes.
I realized, however, that the logo felt a tad lopsided with the didgeridoo/mic on the end, so I put the lizard inside the “O” to even things out.
Logo Vectorization
- Bring your hand-drawn logo design to life in vector graphics.
- Scale up as much as you need for banners and signs without any loss of quality.
- I’ll give my individual attention and apply my skills to your creative ideas.
So you’ve drawn a logo design that you’re really proud of—maybe you’ve even been using it for a couple years. As you grow your business, logos made from scans of pen on paper become hard to work with. Try to make them any larger, and they pixellate. Try to edit them, and you’re left with artifacts.
Let me free you from the chains of blurry and blocky logos!
This logo was sent anonymously to a local soup kitchen, and they actually used it for some time. This proved frustrating, however, as the logo’s creator appears to have drawn it in Microsoft Paint at a very low resolution.
The image was less than 800 pixels wide, meaning the individual pixels were clearly visible, and the JPEG compression left the logo with all manner of unsightly artifacts. In case you can’t see it above, I’ll zoom in for you:
As a result of all this, Rainbow Kitchen often couldn’t even get their logo printed onto banners and the like; printers would throw up errors because they couldn’t stretch the logo to the required dimensions.
And even when they did print, the results looked pixellated and unprofessional.
Following my offer to see if I could fix their logo, Rainbow Kitchen sent me the JPEG. Everyone there assumed—quite understandably—that their logo would prove unsalvageable.
Within a few days, I sent them a .zip file containing a vector graphic (.svg file) with full transparency and crisp lines—and despite being pretty much infinitely scalable, the new logo remained true to the spirit of the original.
I’ll turn your hand-drawn or bitmap logo design into a vector graphic you can use anywhere, while preserving the essence of your vision. Keep your logo your own without having to pay an arm or a leg just to see your branding wherever you need it.
- Once recreated in vector graphics, your logo will shrink or expand to any size: business cards, your website, or even the side of a van!
- Don’t be afraid to ask for revisions till you have the unique, versatile logo you need.
