For a couple of years I had a website. My sister was building it for me, however it was never finished. Not because of her, mind you, but me. Because I am the slowest, dork of a painter ever. Happily, now that I actually have some works to put up, we are at it again!
As I have been sharpening my illustrator and photoshop skills I thought I would try my hand at a logo for my new imaginary site. My idea for the logo came from a Christmas present of a moveable type stamp that was given to me by an awesome friend.
She found it in England and thought that I could use it as a type of signature for my paintings. It being a gryphon and all, I was sold.
Sadly, as a moveable type it is meant to be pressed into, and not stamped from. I took to the internets and found another stamp, though not as cool, and it is this stamp that I now use to "sign" the back of my paintings.
Below are some of the logo ideas I came up with, although in the end another sister will be making my actual logo. As her's will be a billion times better. The first two were made in illustrator, the last two in photoshop:
I use a red ink pad to stamp my "signature," hence the red images. Depending on the colors we choose for the site I may be getting a different color pad, but I do really like the last one.
