My 3 logo versions

Sketches

I have done my best to neatly sketch my 3 favourite logo versions for JT designs.

JT designs is my own little way to promote my design work so that clients remember who I am.


The first one (from left to right) is my initials and also 'D' for 'design's, all linking up together.
I actually prefer it being simply 'JT' and designs written near it. But I didn't mind the idea for linking each letter together. 'Designs' in all of them are written with the middle 'S' laying down. That was a random idea, I wanted something visually different as my logo is text based.

The second version is my favourite. I thought 'why not?' just tilt my initials. We are very used to seeing things upright. I remember a photographer I worked with did a photoshoot with me and tilted the image so that the horizon was diagonal. He told me it was visually creative and was a Japenese design trend in photography.

The third one was my favourite idea was a while, until I did the second. I wanted to chop off corners, keep things square and sit everything perfectly next to each other.


While these logos all have different aspects I like, I think the middle one speaks my message clearer.
The way the 'S' in design sits, shows I'm playful and the initals sit in a clever way and whatever font I choose should show my clean and neat work.

I wish to experiment with colour for this one but would love to grab some feedback first :)
