This is my conceptually designed personal logo which represents me. This logo is a combination of my name and a subject that I am passionate about which is football. I have tried to combine these two ideas into a simple yet creative conceptional logo. Firstly, I used the name abbreviation layout from my original name logo in which I had the first letter of my forename and surname stand out vertically. Just like my original name logo I’ve used the same font as the serif adds more detail to the logo making it overall more intriguing as well as adding a sense of pride and character to my logo. Just like in my original name logo I included my full name on the right hand side of my name abbreviation vertically in line with the abbreviation as it adds a good sense of composition making the logo neat and not look out of place. This being a conceptional name logo unlike the original typographical logo, I needed to add more details to make it conceptional using the two ideas being my name and my subject of interest. Therefore, I have created the logo outline by creating a black box around my name to keep everything neat and organised, the reason why I chose the black background is because it makes the text and additional details easily readable. The main way I have made this logo conceptional is by adding details such as a basic design of a football in the top left corner, I’ve used the hexagon shape in illustrator to create the main outline of the football as well as the details on it. I could have used the circle shape rather than hexagon for the outline of the ball however I wanted to make the design sharper and more interesting. I’ve also positioned it so that the football pokes out of the logo outline as it makes the overall logo stand out a bit more. Finally, to make the whole logo a bit more intriguing using my creative thinking I have filled in the gaps in my name abbreviation using basic triangular green shapes, specifically, the green colour of these shapes represents the football pitch. This links together the conceptional idea nicely with the white coloured text because a football pitch has white outlines therefore it creates a neat, conceptional and a creative logo.
This is my second version of a conceptionally designed personal logo, as we can see it is very contrasting compared to my original version. I’ve tried to make this version more conceptional and meaningful therefore I’ve decided to include an outline of myself on the left side of the logo, to make this conceptional I decided to show my hobby through the outline of myself by crafting hexagon shapes on my head which meant to represent a football. I’ve also briefly filled in the outline of myself with blue to make myself stand out on a darker blue background. I’ve used different shades of blue in this logo to show that it is my favourite colour. Rather than having a plain, uninspiring background, I have decided to include a rough design of a football pitch that blends in nicely with the overall logo. For the logo text I have decided to use the same font as it makes my name stand out well, however for this logo I’ve decided to only include my name abbreviation. I have used a black colour for the text with a blue shadow stroke which makes the text look more interesting. The top section of the logo looked a bit too empty therefore I’ve decided to create a texture made up on hexagons in the top right corner which represent goal netting, as you can see the white hexagons blend nicely with the overall design especially that the outline of myself is also white which works well with a blue background. I didn’t include the hexagons across the whole top part of the design as I think it would be too much and I like to keep logos neat and simple, in addition, this way the hexagons add low-key fade effect.
