Personal logo design
Posted October 20th, 2008.
I thought I’d share a page of sketches I created as part of my personal logo development. Included here is just one of nine or ten pages, the rest are long since gone. I thought I’d show it just to demonstrate a little of the variety that goes into a logo design.
Most of them are nothing like the final choice, I took a dozen onto the PC before making my final decision. It’s only a fragment of the project, but what to you think of some of the alternatives?
If you frequent designer blogs you’ve no doubt heard other designers say it’s hard to design for ones self. I often find myself looking back at my logo design and wondering, what if…
What do you think?
Did i make the right decision? What alternative might you have pursued?

I think I would have played around some more with number nine but I do like the simpleness of your logo design choice, it looks modern and flexible.
I quite like the monograms 2 and 7, otherwise I think you made the right choice, your logo works great.
Joni,
Thanks for your feedback.
Duncan,
I was fond of logos 2 & 7 as well but in the end I was looking for something more modern than 2, and 7 could be interpreted a “CK” with overlapping kerning so they were ruled out in the end.
I’m still fond of the idea though, I’ll keep it up my sleeve for a future project perhaps.
12… is quite impressive!
Inba,
Thanks for your input, I appreciate the variety of opinions.
Nice article. Read a couple of your articles, I really like them!
I agree you made the right choice for the logo. What is #15 supposed to be?
Martin,
15 was a very stylize “A”, designed to be a stand alone icon but I decided by the end it wasn’t really the best feel for me.
