Typographical Name Logo

My two logo designs, a larger logo for larger scaled formats and a smaller icon-style for thumbnails.

I have made two name logos. I used the same serif typeface for both. I chose a serif typeface because they look more serious and professional and also since they seem more traditional. My first logo shows my full name within an oval. I have used an oval to frame the design and so that it can be placed onto other things like posters or websites without fading into the background. I placed my first name over my last to keep the logo from being too long. A shorter design means it takes up less space and fits better. I created a curved line to follow the edge of the oval to create a break in the design so it wasn’t too flat. I then made another logo, this time I just took the first letters from my first and last name to create a more simple logo. I used a circle instead of an oval since this design will be more condensed and won’t need extending as much as the previous logo. I placed the letters really close so the serifs almost met, bringing the eye from one letter to the other. I made another curved line to go within this design, helping to make the design less boring. Although simple, the curved lines fill some of the extra space up and make the logos slightly more interesting and appealing to look at. I didn’t overcomplicate the logos since the aim is to tell the viewer who I am, so it was important that the logo was clear and readable. The two logos compliment each other and could both be used alongside each other depending on the purpose.
