Baby Koala

 I really enjoy this logo for Baby Koala because it clean and cute. The cute aspect of this design works because it is for babies, and people think babies are cute. I also think having the koala head on top of a clothing pin is perfect. The pin is used to hold up the dippers and anything else that cannot fit the baby. The color palette is a baby blue and little gray, which is calming.

Food Fish


I really enjoy this logo because of the imagery  and color palette. The colors of black and white keep it simple so the viewer can easily see the details within the fish. The fish is made up of different eating utensils. I like how the design chose to have the knife in the middle because that is the longest utensil you can use and that is the tallest portion in most fish. The text is clean and clear making it easy to see and the details interesting.

It's Time To Say HOWDY!

I went to Hickory River for dinner on Friday. I had to wait in line, which got me looking around. I saw this sign and loved it. I like how they used the horse shoes to spell out the word "howdy". It gives it more character instead of just a flat normal looking sign. I also particularly like the "W" because it has layers of horse shoes. Very fun and  nice piece!

Get Wired!

I found this logo simple and beautiful! It takes the saying "get wired" two ways. One is expressed through the energy coffee can give, but also having colorful wires rap around to create a cup. The color choices are fantastic because they are rectangle (tetradic) color scheme. Also having the get and wired be a different thickness is interesting. Like this piece a lot!

Tostitos!

I have never really paid that close attention to the Tostitos logo before to see the figures within in it. I like this imagery because it shows a group of people coming together to have a good time. Having the Tostito chip be the dot of the "I" is fantastic because it makes that "I" unique. The "I" base is also serving as a table with the salsa on top. The typography has a verity of curves and straight lines showing you direction, but also movement throughout the piece. Overall fun and inviting design.

Animal Typography


This image uses typography successfully. I love this design. Having the "C" with a triangular center instead of curved makes the eyes of the cat become visible. The placement of the words made it so that the imagery can come to life. The contrast is what really makes this piece complete. I took a look at other animal typography designs and was amazed by what I saw. The creativity and time to create each individual logo is inspiring. Being an animal lover I found them all every interesting and fun to follow each ones particular pattern.

The Nuttier! The Better!

I love everything that has to do with sweets! I looked up ice cream logos and came across this. I found this logo very creative. They used the same two colors of brown and tan throughout with the background color of white. This concept is smart because it brings the imagery forward. I like how the typography has a bubbly feel to it because ice cream, in this case gelato, is supposed to be fun and energetic. Also the text isn't straight across which also plays with the nuttiness of the logo. Lastly, the squirrel is brilliant. Having it so that the tail forms the tip of the gelato swirl is a perfect finishing touch. Another thing the squirrel adds to this piece is the body creates the roundness of the gelato. The Nutty Squirrel seems like a very fun place to visit, but its only location is in Washington. Looks like I'll have to plan a vacation.
