I chose to design a bird as my identity/ logo because, to me, it symbolizes freedom. Artistic freedom as well as the freedom to roam where ever you please (traveling is a hobby of mine). Also it's my nickname from back home (J bird/bird).
Also I've shrunk it down and it looks just lovely on a business card :)
I dig the simplicity of 'J. Thomas'. I'd like to see a few more variations of the idea of 'bird'. What other ways can you visualize that? The smaller sized black bird feels like it is missing something to make it pop - some definition that makes it more than a silhouette. The colored birds are beautiful but you lose the detail at the smaller size. Is there a happy medium between the two?
ReplyDeleteI agree- I'm glad that you tried it small- think about it as an icon on a site too. Abstract "J"'s might be interesting to see as well. the colored birds are ok...but as you get smaller you might want to create a simple 1-color design. -R
