Grunge Games - The GG Logo Final

In the previous post I uploaded my initial brand design for Grunge Games. While I really enjoyed the design, it was not quite what the owner Joshua Derr had in mind. Working with him over the subsequent weeks the design was finally realized. It is a clean design that encapsulates the overall grungy nature that was asked for. The tag style font completes the urban feel that Grunge Games was hoping to achieve.

Enjoy!

Grunge Games - The GG Logo

Recently I've been asked by Grunge Games to work on their logo and business card designs. I'm still working with them on the final product, but I enjoyed this iteration so much that I thought I'd put it up on my site. The initial idea was to have the words pop out from a splatter of either paint, or slime that was on a wall. Then, somehow integrate the two G letters, which form Grunge Games, into something that represents a modern design.

The below designs were my initial attempts to meet my client's expectations. While they were eventually declined, I still like them quite a lot.

The Tooth - Farahani Dental

Recently I finished the logo and business design for Farahani Dental, a dental practice located in the Bellevue area. I was tasked with making a design that was simple and classy, but not stuffy or boring. Dr. Farahani had wanted there to be a tooth prominent in the design. I chose to go with gentle flowing lines grounded by a sturdy base line. Below that, Farahani dominates the design, with Family Dental framed neatly beneath. A subtle reflection of the design makes the entire logo feel modern and professional, while still maintaining a bit of playfulness.

Ever After Designs - Blue Butterflies

A while back I designed a logo for a personal company called Ever After Designs. It is primarily a wedding invitation business, as I am sometimes asked to consult people in that area.

While designing this logo, I was playing a video game called Bioshock 2. One of my favorite elements in this game was the inclusion of a blue butterfly. It represented finding a lost love, complete devotion, and kindness. So, I decided to incorporate the butterfly into the design of the card. It was an homage to the game, and a representation of completing one of the most important quests one can embark on in his/her lifetime.

The blue in the butterfly dictated the color scheme that I chose to go with in the end. I enjoyed the blue of the butterfly and wanted to keep things in that color palette. So I went with darker teals and blues to complete the design. Once the color was finalized, I began working on the fonts, and the actual placement of the butterfly.

Soon after placing the butterfly I realized that it would have a much greater impact if I included two butterflies flying side by side. To me, the inclusion of two butterflies represented a new couple embarking on a new journey together.
