I [think] I’ve Done It!

WELP. Today I spent about 4 hours working on my logo and getting the vector version.. just right.. it’s harder than you would think. BUT I think I finally have a logo I love. We’ll see how it all goes down on Monday at my final critique, but for now I want to hear what you guys think!

The middle three are really just example of what I could do with it for fun situations. The top and bottom are the ones I’m debating on. Do I want to always use the bottom one? Or maybe use both of them depending on the situation. For now I’m leaning towards the bottom one, I just feel like it looks cleaner and more finished.

But what do you guys think? Also, Do you like the “JennMann Design” part of it as well?

Also, If you would like to see a larger version of it, Click on the flickr photo on the right. It’s kind of crappy quality, it being a jpeg and all but it gets the job done for now.

Logo: finally?

SO, after a much need lllllooooonnnnnggggg convo with my teacher about my previous *horrendous* logo designs, I have a new idea. Now I was going to show you the process and all my scribble sketches, but well I didn’t feel like scanning all of those in AND its not the interesting to look at. lol. Anyways, if you have ever seen my sign my name I put this little weird design on the inside of my “J”. I started going it a long time ago because I’ve always thought the letter “J” was ugly (sorry mom & dad) and I wanted to make it unique. This is a spin off of that… well actually… when I first started writing my “J” like that like it looked more like this with an “M” shape in the middle… not its just a lazy, fast squiggle.

Obviously this is just the sketch and I need to take it into Illustrator and make the real deal, but I thought I would show you guys this before that’s done. It is, of course, part of the process hehe. ANYWAYS where it says “JennMann Design ////” that’s just showing an option of laying out my info with my logo the “/////” would be where my phone number and/or email would go but obviously I’m not going to plaster those across the internet. Once I get this into illustrator and start messing with it some things might change a little, I realize the “M” kind of looks like a heart, maybe to much, although my last name is “mannhardt” pronouched man-heart. So, some people say its fitting, we’ll see, its not done yet but its MUCH closer than my previous ones.

Now for the important part… WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

I’m Back!

Well I’m back. I miss the blogging world and I have to document a lot of stuff for school and as things get harder I feel it would be really nice to be able to blog them and get opinions.. (assuming people read this lol.)

So my major predicament right now is creating a logo for myself. I’m struggling with this. I want something that can be versatile, something that can be really classy and then also used in a really artistic way. I want to be able to apply texture to it, because well, I love texture. And, lastly, I want it to be able to work in grayscale and in color.

I’ve decided to refer to myself as JennMann for lots of reasons, a few being Jennifer Mannhardt is long and most people misspell Mannhardt (this is important when it comes to website search engine stuff), my twitter name is JennMann, lots of people call me JennMann and well, its just kind of fun and easy. (opinions on this? hate it? love it? don’t care?)

well here are screen shots of what I’m working on. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know what you think!

These are all pretty rough, so I wont be offended if you say “I HATE THEM ALL!!!!!” haha.

This is another one I just quickly threw together, I really love the ornament look, but I don’t know. There are lots of reasons I’m leaning away from this look. What do you think?

well I’m going to stop blabbing. Let me know what you think!
