I thought I'd get the ball rolling here! 

The two nouns used to create this were 'bear' and 'building blocks'. You'll see in the course how I got to this logo, but this is a real world job and the client was thrilled with the result. 

This was a rebrand for a childcare facility in the UK called 'Billy Bears Nursery'. And it was actually quite tough! They needed a logo that was instantly recognisable as a nursery, but also not too playful (e.g. hand-drawn, finger painting style) so that they would be taken seriously as a professional operation.
