further logo ideas

logo progressing

One of my favourite out comes from the workshop was my initials representing what could almost be a shape of a bullet. Which could stand for fighting, anarchy. Something which punk also stood for. So I decided to progress further. 

This was how it started off, but since I have tried warping the D to give it a pointier curve like a bullet would have. I have also put it onto a bold coloured background to see how it would stand against it as my final design might include a vibrant background. 

logos further

However there were other logos I felt had potential and have decided to carry on into illustrator. I worry though that because i chose the punk era to base my design on that doing my logo and design in graphic based software will take away from the raw appearance that punk strongly uses. 

This logo design (using the initials LL) could come across as a representation of barbed wire. Which could blend in well with the punk imagery as they were very interested in spikes and studs, something which barbed wire can relate too.

This one could work well with my name 'Louise Larkin Design' as the way the Ls have been arranged could be a representation of the D, I fear that the Ls aren't curved enough for it to be obvious enough it is meant to be a D and not a square or rigid O. 

logos

These are some of the logos I made during/after my workshop lesson using my initials LL. Some i feel are too random and don't represent anything in particular rather than just the shape they created.

More example of punk posters

I am really interested in punk graphics from mainly the 70's. Mainly because of my music taste, but I also like how simple a poster can be. It was very common for punks to use the 'cut out' method to create their work rather than using detailed illustrations. Photography was still used but what I really like is how they cared very little about how rough or torn the image looked. As seen in the Anarchy in the UK poster below. Another reason I like these sort of images and designs is the little/lack of colour used. To emphasise a certain aspect of the poster a bright colour would be used to highlight it. Or in some other posters the colour was used as the main background of the image with harsh black text on top.

His work may not be based on packaging, but the way he creates his pieces whilst showing the net he's cut out makes me wonder if there's any way I can use the outline of my net to create a design to go onto the actual box.
