JAWAN LOGO DESIGN

One of my college friends is involved in an online shop for scarves, Jawan, which is actually project helping the Afghan Scholars Initiative. About a month ago he asked me whether I could come up with something new for their logo. They did not want a sign logo, they just wanted me to play around with the name and slogan of Jawan Fashion and come up with a softer, elegant and modern look.
Here is a screenshot of their website:

I played around with fonts, different elements related to the scarves themselves, such as the tassels, and different colors, and I came up with the following logos:

From these, they liked the three below, which I made in their signature color.

Now I am just waiting for them to decide whether they would use any of these. Whatever happens, though, I quite like how they came out :).

MY NEW BUSINESS CARDS

Wow, I haven't posted anything in close to a month...I've been so busy, though, I've barely had time to get any sleep, let alone write on my blog. I'm spreading myself way too thin with work, the MBA, various art projects, dance classes, and all those little errands that you have to do when you live alone, like get food or clean the house :) Anyway, the end of this quite terrible term in school is close to its end, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up on all the stuff I want to blog about. Oh, and just to whine a little - I have an exam on my birthday...blah.

In between all the late nights spent working or writing papers, I somehow managed to print my new business cards, which I'm quite fond of. They are blue, unlike my current orange and green color scheme, and I think I might freshen up the design of my blog as well...we'll see.

So this is what I got printed - they are on 300 g paper with matte laminate, and they look very cool.

Here are my other color schemes and designs for the back of the card. I'll print the orange and the green at some point, too, but I'm still not sure when.

LOGO & T-SHIRT FOR LILLY

My friend Lilly and I have known each other since kindergarten. We've stayed close through good and bad times, and through years when we were on different continents. We've given each other countless presents, of course, so I was racking my brains as to what to get her for Christmas this year. And then it hit me - I work in an ad agency, and I like to dip my toes in various graphic design projects, so what could be more perfect than something custom made with a print design of my own making!? So I sat down and made her a personal logo, which I had stamped on a red shirt afterwards. I really like the outcome, and I do hope that she wears it with pleasure.

COMPANY LOGO: ЕТ ШАНС

In the summer I had the chance to design a logo for a company, ЕТ Шанс (or Chance Ltd.), that is a construction products retailer. The company wanted a logo in one color that they can use on the signs outside of their shop, so I gave them some options that were more abstract and an option with a hand giving a thumbs up (because of the name of the company - "chance").

Here are some of the abstract designs:


And here is the design with the hand giving a thumbs up, which is actually the one they ended up choosing.


I actually really enjoy designing logos. I hope that I have more chances to do that in the future.
