This logo for a completely fictitious company started when I noticed that the negative space with the letter P set in the typeface Blackoak looked a bit like a gun firing a bullet. This got me thinking of how interesting it would be if there were a super-girly, female-owned and operated boutique, catering only to women, which sells not only firearms and ammunition, but also beauty supplies. Everything a modern woman needs! Hey, if you're gonna make up a logo and a company to go with it, why not have a little fun with it? Here, the left side of the P reveals the profile of a gun barrel in negative space, while the negative space within the bowl of the P reveals a makeup brush, which doubles as a bullet being fired. The P mark, based on the Blackoak letterform, is constructed by hand, and the type for "Patricia's" is based on Archive Antique Extended, and is also constructed by hand. I did this because I wanted rounded corners and edges to give the logo a more feminine touch.

This completely fictitious company logo is the result of happenstance typographic exploration.
Through modification, I discovered that a lowercase M, set in Matrix Script Bold, began to resemble an elephant. Realizing the potential for a self-initiated logo development exercise, I dubbed my hypothetical company "Mr. Memory," an allusion to the idiom, "an elephant never forgets." With the addition of the R and the peanut as a punctuation replacement, the character exists both as an elephant as well as Mr. Memory, himself. This company could be one that manufactures RAM or external hard drives, or it could be a learning center.

This logo for Rob McIver Photo is a unique graphic representation of his name and a camera. The typographic shapes suggest hands, or fingers holding and wrapped around the camera. The center of the camera is used as a highlight, when displayed with a photograph. This results in a versatile and fun logo with a professional appearance, that properly represents his fun and unique approach to his photography.
