I tried to come up with various themed logos with some that could be applied to different types of industry.<\/p>\n<p>When designing the logos, I tried to keep it clean and simple so that it can be easily recognisable and readable at the same time. I used bold contrasting tone to make the design stand out and using the minimum of colours possible to avoid visual clutter.<\/p>\n<p>When displaying the logo designs, I added a gradient effect and a grain texture onto the background to add focus on the main subject and provide a clean visual appearance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raykit.co.uk\/blog\/images\/raykitshum_logo_volume.jpg\" alt=\"logo_volume\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Logo &#8211; Volume<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea for this design simply came from the symbol for volume and incorporating it into the word itself. This logo would work well for an audio related or a contemporary fashion magazine type of company.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raykit.co.uk\/blog\/images\/raykitshum_logo_envelope.jpg\" alt=\"logo_envelope\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Logo &#8211; Envelope<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea again came from incorporating the symbol icon to the word. When I was drawing the envelope icon, I noticed the shape of the lines started to form a tick which adds something extra to the design.<\/p>\n<p>The letter L coincidentally became reversed to form the bottom outline of the envelope. This would be an ideal logo for a stationary, special gift or card company.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raykit.co.uk\/blog\/images\/raykitshum_logo_betxi.jpg\" alt=\"logo_betxi\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Logo &#8211; Betxi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This idea started with the brand name for a made up betting company and then developed into the design for a far east betting service. I used traditional oriental themed colours and fonts but with a contemporary look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raykit.co.uk\/blog\/images\/raykitshum_logo_echelon.jpg\" alt=\"logo_echelon\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Logo &#8211; Echelon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Echelon is one of my favourite words in the dictionary and I had this cool idea of incorporating the meaning into the text. The word means <em>a level or rank in an organisation<\/em> and I tried to represent this by splitting and altering the shapes of the letters to form different platforms and layers.<\/p>\n<p>The circles within a circle in the letter O represent hierarchy and the concept of an inner circle meaning. It could also be interpreted as a sort of symbol for a security key lock system, which would tie in well with the authority meaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are some examples of brand identity\/logo designs that I&#8217;ve created using illustrator.
