So yesterday I talked about how I wanted... needed... to come up with a new logo and avatar for my shop, Oddity Owl Art Store. I discussed my ideas about wanting to do a simpler version of the Owl sketch I had already made. It was too much detail and I needed something smaller and easier to read. I want to keep the hand drawn illustration look to the logo, since that best represents the majority of my work. So I came up with 2 sketches.
The top one, I really liked. It had the olive trees and the owl both shown, which was what I originally had wanted to be in the logo. The bottom one didn't have the olive branches. The less cluttered design was nice. Even though I really wanted the trees in the design, it seemed like that design might be too hard to read at small sizes.
After deciding which logo I liked the best, I drew a bigger sized version. Once it was inked, I uploaded it to photoshop to do a few small touch ups. Nothing too big. Mostly it was just touching up the lighting and image size. After the touch ups were done, it was time to find a font that fit with the picture. I ended up not being happy with anything I had on my computer already, so I went and found some new fonts to use. Ended up finding some really fun ones.
Here is the finished logo!
So... am I happy with the final result? I'm not sure! Hmm... The beak is a little larger then I meant for it to be, I think it might look better a little smaller. I will leave it for now and see how I feel about it in a few days. :)
