Week 2 Logos

The Heifer international jumping cow is an logo that has the cow jumping over the name of the foundation. The cow is simple and it can be used anywhere and look appropriately formal or informal. A friend of mine actually used the Heifer International cow in her wedding invitations because she wanted people to donate to Heifer rather than give gifts.

The MIGHTY MONARCH! I love this logo. It is the symbol of a super villain on an adult cartoon called The Venture Brothers. The logo is interesting because it looks powerful and has the monarch's crown on the butterfly's head. The butterfly has slanted triangular eyes that look angry. Despite the strong red image the actual character is kind of a wimp and typically oversells the looks and under-delivers the evil.

INSPIRATION JOURNAL

Logos and stuff that I find inspirational... Inspirational might be pushing it but the following is eye catching:
Who doesn't find Brutus inspirational? He's a symbol of all that is good in the world... or at least Ohio.
I love Joan Miro paintings. The bold colors are something that is attractive to infants and art lover alike. You naturally look and try to determine what it is you are looking at. Unlike a Pollack painting you want to determine what it is, not necessarily what it means.

This is a Spork tattoo... I happen to be married an individual who felt getting an outline of a spork (traced for accuracy no less) would be a good conversation piece. The spork is unique and it really does start conversations. Not to mention it is something that makes him more memorable to those who meet him just once or twice. If my husband had a logo and a brand it would probably be a spork (or maybe Bigfoot eating with a spork).


More to come :)
