Logo Designs
A logo should be carefully designed to fit a variety of
needs and applications.
And, it should say who you are and what you do at a glance.
The logo below, designed for Hidden Lake Gardens, shows how important flexibility
in design can be.
I always try to design logos that look good in black and white as well
as color.
Sometimes a client will want to keep an image they have
developed
over a period of years, but the logo needs updating. This logo, designed
for Katherine's Catering,
demonstrates how you can build off an existing logo to update the company's
image.
The logo on the left was designed in the 80's, the one on the right communicates
a more corporate look,
while maintaining an image that Katherine has spent 15 years developing.

digitally and "shooting" the frozen image. Then all the rotations
were sequenced and animated for the final logo. You can view the final
cube animation by visiting www.arborweb.com and clicking on the "rotate
cube" link in the site map. Or see a smaller version of the cube on
