Logo

Sketches

For the sketches I focused on different aspects of things that make me as a person. I chose a different aspect for each of the sketches instead of just focusing on one aspect for each of them. Each of the sketches have their own meaning in relation to me. Some of them might have some of the same meanings, but not all of the meanings of each are the same. Most of the sketches have multiple meanings behind them. 

I chose five favorites, the bat, the mushroom, the paw, the moth, and the cat head. From these I chose two that I like even more than the others, the mushroom and the paw. From these two I ultimately chose the paw as my favorite.

Black and White

After choosing to continue with the paw, I drew it up in illustrator, blocking out the different shapes with black, white, and grey to distinguish them from each other. 

I chose to make the claws darker in order to make them more visible when the logo is shrunk down. The paw pads were decided to be lighter in order to match more of the actual cat paw vibe, with their lighter paw pads. 

The bottom of the paw is shown in a way to make the logo make more sense, with it looking cut off instead of just floating. The bone is shown in order to show this more as well. 

Color Versions and Artist Statement

I made a few different color versions with different meanings depending on the colors used in them. The favorite ends up being the brown one with the purple paw pads.

Each color has a different meaning. The purple, which is used in two of the logos, shows imagination, which I pride myself on. Pink, which is also used in two of the logos shows compassion and love, both of which I have a lot of. I have a lot of compassion in people, and I also have a lot of love to spread around. The green in the bottom logo shows healing, which I am working on. It also shows the healing that I have already sone to make it to this point. The brown in the middle logo shows friendliness, which I try to have with people. I work on my friendliness and try to trust people more, which is shown with the brown color. The black and white are there for some contrast, but the black also represents my power in my own life, which I am working on taking back.
