Week 4 NEJETAA final (w/b&w)


because their logo will potentially end up very small (post cards, business cards, etc) and in black and white, I built 3 extra variants for the client.

Week 4 vs. NEJETAA


Client Kate Chevarley of the New England Japanese Exchange Teachers Alumni Association.

This took about 2 hours to concoct (The client all but demanded a lighthouse). I am concerned that this logo, while liked by the client, will not reduce in size all that well, nor reproduce in black and white either.

Week 3 vs Battle Mouth


And as soon as I started, I am quickly whipped away from my project and stuck in a mire of tax prep, site redesign, and product development. Here is, for your amusement, week 3's logo for client Michael Kumlin of BattleMouth.com

Week 2 vs. Eventruly Yours (final)


Client: Latoya Russell, Eventruly Yours.

As with last week, this logo took about 2 hours from sketch to this rendering. I like the logo well enough, though I'm not sure I've hit it for the client. The client's service is event planning, for birthdays and bridal/baby showers (but not weddings) and she wanted something in calligraphy. Have to wait and see.

52 teas follow up



This project / blog has already become an interesting experience for me. Above are two final renders I did for Frank (not Howard) following last week's free logo. Payment: 6 bags of tea from his website!

It's a small trade, but a fun one, and I'm glad to have had the chance to help a small business.

Week 1 vs. 52Teas.com "final"


Client: Frank Horbelt, Zoomdweebie’s Tea, 52teas.com


So here it is, approximately 2 hours from sketch to this stage. Still figuring out how much time and effort I'm willing to put into these, considering I'm doing them for free. Ultimately the client will tell.

Recession Blues

Jobs for creative professionals are scarce in the best of times, let alone during an economic downturn. So, if no one wants to pay for it, I'll do it for free!

Once each week, I will post a listing on craigslist offering to produce a logo for free. Your reply should contain the name of the company, product, or event you want a logo for and any details you feel are important.

I will accept requests on a first-come, first-serve basis. I will not accept repeat requests unless you offer me money, then I will accept the highest bidding request.

Finally, I will post your logo on this blog, as well as any sketches I did along the way. The logo is yours, free for you to alter or reproduce as many times as you want. I only ask that you leave a comment on this blog and give me standard credit for creating the work. (your comment may be as positive or negative as you like)

If you want me to refine the logo further or like it, but want to see another, my rate $20 an hour.

And there you have it! A free logo for you, practice for me, and hopefully a bit of fun.


Cheers,
GG
