Logo Design

long with a description of your reasons behind your design, color choices and ideas.  Also make sure to post your sketches, reference images and anything else that shows your design process.

My Logo is called "Waxy Boards," a company for anyone looking to buy/sell/rent a surfboard. If you do buy/rent a board from us, we provide the wax for the board and each time you come in with a certificate you bought the board from us, we will reward you with a free wax and any discounted wax after that. 

My color choices were cool colors, mostly blues because of the activity being in the ocean. 

My design process was working from the background, up. 

5 Logo Critics

• The old Penn State University logo, the mascot of their school on the shield like shape was so small that you couldn't see anything but the "Penn State." The intent of the mascot was to show it, and it wasn't achieving that goal.  
• The shading in LG life's good logo is very dull and not very bold. Whenever I see if I sort of look past it and don't recognize it. 
• The Busy Bee logo is very busy, it seems like it has a lot going on. When I look at it, I'm drawn to so many different parts I don't know what to look at first. 
• Green Care Landscapers, their name does not really match their colors or really come off as a landscaping company 
• Hercules Gym & Fitness logo is very dull, the shading makes the logo as a whole almost blend in together. 

Logo Ideas

1.         Have an animal or dog shelter for adoption where we take in strays and homeless dogs. I had an idea to put a picture of a dog as the ‘O” in the name, “ADOPT”

2.         Waxy Surfboards- A company that rents and sells surf boards. (Wax is a necessity when surfing) I would incorporate a burning candle and waves in the name of the company.

3.         “Pick your shade”- a tanning lotion company where the person using this product gets to turn a knob and pick the shade they desire to become. I would include an umbrella as the top of the bottle to get the lotion out of the bottle, like a cap, and then have shades of tan around the bottle.

4.         Coffee- to have a coffee company called “Coffee” and have a cup at the bottom middle of the world and make the “f’s” to be steam from the hot coffee cup.

5.         “Drownin’ Diabetes”- A coffee company (like dunkin donuts) caked “Drownin’ Diabetes” referencing that DD puts very little coffee in their cup of creamer and sugar. I had the idea to put the logo similar to DD.
