Week 1_Entry 1

Logo design for shirt


Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. In this first entry, I will show you my logo design for shirt. I used illustration to do it. The main idea as our teacher said is MOON and SUN. The main colors in my logo is black and white. In the 'sun part', I used typography to represent the sun. In 'moon part', I drew waves which are water related to the moon.

And this is my work:





I started searching on websites for models of sun and moon designs. Finally, I decided to use typography to make the sun. In English, I know that the word ‘sun’ and ‘son’ have the same pronunciation. Beside that, the letter ‘o’ could be designed to the sun image (circles, fire) so the word ‘son’ with the letter ‘o’ designed to the sun can represent for the first part of our topic. The second part-moon is easier. I just drew a simple moon with waves inside. About the color, I used two simple hues black and white which contrast together, white for sun and black for moon backgrounds. The colors represent for day and night as well.

In generally, my logo is really simple. I recommend that it should be small and placed on a black background shirt. Hope you guys will like it and vote for me.

I agree that the illustrations are fairly simple and do like the fact that you used a play-on words, quite a clever use of 'son' for 'sun'. I also like the fact that the "n" looks like the "s", but just rotated a bit.

The moon illustration is less playful than the"sun"s. I would not have known that the "swirly" graphics represented water unless I read the article. So the this design needs a bit more work.
