30 Logos in 30 days
Day 1
Brief:
"We mostly sell skincare products and cosmetics that include lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, and eyeliners. All of the products are vegan, and we’re well known for our limited edition subscription box where we sell several of our best-selling cosmetics in a curated package.
The store mainly uses soft colors, ranging from pinks to purples, so I’d prefer to stick to similar tones in order for the store’s visuals to feel consistent. I’m not interested in any cursive typefaces - I just don’t think it would be legible on our website.
In addition, your design will most likely be printed on the bottom of our cosmetics. The printing area would be around 2cm by 2cm on a black surface, and it would be amazing to get a logo design that can fit into this tight space."
Thought process:
I use the alpha symbol and the symbol for women together as the main logo icon. I went with the soft colors from their color palette and used a strong typeface to reinforce the Alpha Female image.

As a business owner, this is a great way to pay it forward."The older gentleman in this picture noticed the younger one reading a book. And just sat down and asked him questions about the book and what his next steps are as far as his education and future.
Then he took his information and offered him mentorship and opportunities. Now these two men don't know one another at all. But I share this because this is what's missing.
This is not shown by media. THIS is what needs to be done! It was amazing for me to see this on my train ride into work. Might not mean much to some. But to those that see will see the bigger picture, this is for you. Remember, "Each one, Teach one". Have a blessed day."

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
WE HAVE WINE IN CANS!
CLEARLY is the choice when a glass isn't enough, or a bottle is too much. Each CLEARLY Can holds 8.5 ounces, and is mobile. Great for the beach, pool, ball game, PTA meeting, you name it...we won't judge.
We are the first winery in the world to have wine in clear cans. It's not plastic, but a polymer that acts like an oxygen 'sponge', maintaining shelf life and stability of the product for months. The packaging and can is 100% recyclable and 100% made in America.
Cans are available in White, Sangria and Rosé. Available to purchase at the winery starting July 1st.
We just revamped the Affordable Cleaning Servicess LLC website Affordablecleaningnova.com The goal was to create a clean and easy-to-use site that is mobile-friendly and highlights the end results of their service more than the same old cleaning products other cleaning sites use as their main imagery.
If you are in the Northern Virginia area and are looking for a cleaning service that values its clientele either residential or corporate/office cleaning look no further.
Presented at MVES career day to all the 3-5 graders and was a hit with explaining marketing and design. I had them design a logo of whatever they wanted and had a name that logo quiz. All was going well until the MedVac helicopter showed up. How can you compete, lol?

The metaverse is the popular term used to describe what many people expect will be the next significant paradigm for how we use digital technologies and networks to interact and collaborate with other...It's all about "telling a story", how being creative is not just a hype but the way to do business in the post-pandemic era. This is why innovation and creativity, in this context, means the competence to seek out new information, reframe problems as stories, express solutions winsomely, and tolerate risk is key. #tellastory #orcada
