The initial idea/concept behind my first design comes from a Japanese culture which is shown by the katana. The font used is “Ethnocentric”, this is because the font creates a video game aesthetic with its bold and sleek design.
To fit with the Japanese and anime theme I substituted the “i” in both my first and last name with a katana since the shape of the blade reminded me of the letter. I also aligned my name so the katana would go through both names and conceptually it visually represents the theme of my interests along with being a letter in my name. Finally I have constructed a sword slash within the name to symbolise blood and act as an aesthetic design to catch the audiences eyes.
My second idea is very personal as it is based off my bubbly personality- well most of time… The concept behind this logo is that my personality is being blown into a bubble forming my name. My original plan was to make a silhouette of myself blowing air into the wand and it creating a bubble in the shape of my name however I felt that it was too dark and didn’t match the light and airy feel to my logo. To create this I started my sketching custom typeface on paper then copied it onto illustrator. Using the curvature tool to create the bubble shapes and the wand. To make the bubble feel more transparent I turned to opacity down.
