My Logo

My last project in Illustrator was my Lizard Logo. It took many sketches and ideas to come up with a style, design, and layout that my peers and I could agree on.

My sketches started out with my name as the focus. I thought that if I was going to be making a logo for my own personal work, it should include my name. As i kept drawing, I decided to change that focal point to one of my many hobbies, art. Inserting a paint brush into my sketches changed the layout entirely, but after working on it for a while I noted that it was significantly tidier. I incorporated details I liked from all my sketches into my final idea.

Working on the actual logo in Illustrator was very different from working on the sketches, and it was challenging to get the colors the way I wanted. The only frustrating part to create was the legs, because every time I looked at them, they seemed uneven. After thinking I had fixed the problem, I would look back to see the same unevenness from before. It took a lot of revising to finally get the look I wanted.

I am satisfied with how my logo turned out; It expresses my nickname, “Lizard,” quite well. It shows my style, character, and personality all through my cute cartoon lizard logo.
