Let's go logo crazy! I will be Logo Armstrong to your Tour de Family Name, Company or Monogram. An endurance test in old world logo-ing

Hello, and Welcome to Old Timey Logo Mania!

I like tweeking names and words into lovely logos. I think my first official one I did was for my school's library program called BEST FOOT FORWARD. I made a logo involving a foot and a book, elementary I know, but I was in 4th grade. Ever since I've learned to love and admire advertising and old style sign art. Recently, I went to New Orleans to make signs on salvage wood, which was great, but my laptop got abducted. Not only did I not have a backup, but everything I ever designed was on that computer. Now, I want to take this opportunity to see how far I can go in developing unique and fetching logos, marathon style. This is a chance to rebuild a portfolio on commission!

I like three color, but the simplest is black & white so I will start there and move up in complexity. These are not just monograms, rather original stylized graphics, good enough to hang on a shingle. I will feature these designs on a logos page at doves&hawks designs, forever, linked to whatever you want, and you will have your own copy, too.

Win/Win.Funding helps me devote my time, at least two hours to crafting your personalized logo. It keeps me supplied with tea and biscuits and like I said my laptop went on vacation so I will be starting from scratch and defined this project as old signage style but I am open to any suggestions since I want it to be representative of you. If you are modern and minimalist I can go there too. I'm easy. I am limiting this venture to 300 logos (not that I am expecting to get there!) since I want to be able to give each one the attention it deserves.

Let Us Begin Once the funding goal is reached I will send a survey to gather the information needed to help me shape your designs. The $30 offering is for the best looking logo I could make for you. For $45 I will give you two designs to choose from. For $100 I will make you a calling card style name logo, a company logo and free one of your liking. I have to rebuild the website page where everyone's logos will be housed so it is pretty and usable. Check back for updates and stay cool.

FAQ

  • You are the owner of your logo. You can do whatever you want with it after you receive the file in the digital format of your choice. I will publish your logo to a printing site and you can order it on various merchandise.

  • Yes, I just need some basic information and background and you will get my retro interpretation of your name, family name, club, or company. I am only restricting the project to letters and numbers, so no mascots or clipart will be included.
