A quick update as with the terrible internet I am suffering in Asturias this summer just getting a little work done and dealing with emails is taking up double the time!
This time a few banners have been creating for the advertising campaign of a friends site I designed a while back at experienceboxspain.com the banners have a slightly different style (as per picture to the left) and what is it when you design a site, love it, then do some designs for some banners and it makes you want to go back and redo the whole thing!
Anyway the banners can be seen at yougodo.com and here’s hoping that this drums up some traffic and clients for the business itself.

Another day, another logo, this time for the columbian opticians “Optica Alemana”.
The logo brief was to update the logo to provide something memorable that focused on using a butterfly. The symbolism of the butterfly was that the founder of the company had himself discovered a new species of butterfly way back in the 1930′s. Becuase of this the inclusion was very special to the client, however from a design point of view the butterfly has been somewhat used to death in recent years. Trying to avoid cliche’s was particularly difficult. After using logospire.com I found that the logos that really appealed to me were those that incorporated the iconic element within the text. The “O” and the “p” gave me the obvious space on some initial drawings and after taking things to the computer for readability the remaining “tica” needed to be hand-drawn as well.
The result is a quite striking logo completely individual and focused on the business history.The process of sketching proved to provide results that gave me quite a surprise in the finished result. So as we always knew hand sketches are always the way to start logo designs and web designs and any designs for that matter.

Whilst spending a a few days in Santa Eulalia de Oscos (Asturias, Spain) it poured and poured and poured with rain. So what to do? Create a new logo for the albergue of course. This will be implemented in its new website created in…. hmmm… either wordpress or drupal. Let’s see.
The logo based around the previous logo of the “duende” and using the lovely Chunk five font (Found here http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/ChunkFive ) & brought to my attention by Egil Artzen (one of my students at the Marbella Design Academy) will soon be printed on t-shirts and such of the like branding type products.
The albergue site so far in its original version can be found here http://www.alberguevegacarro.com/ and its not a bad place to stay because it does’nt rain all the time in Asturias, its a very pretty place and you can dine on Cider and Empanadas all day long.
See you there in the summer then!
