Apprenez à penser différemment

I love the simplicity. What I see is a pencil representing design/putting something on paper/creation that is made of an H inside an O for your initials. Is the point supposed to be an A or is that just the point of the pencil? Either way this looks great, whether those are the effects you were going for or not. Some of the other comments have great advice though!

looks great - go get some work ; )

I like your logo.  I think you could do without the red color.  I think blue and white is a nice clean and simple look.

simple and elegant card. I would get rid of the icons, I think it gives it a more professional cleaner look.

I think where I might challenge you would be the concept of branding in general. Branding has sort of lost its meaning over the years. I have clients come to me with a sketch or idea for a logo and a name but the two things do not communicate together. As as graphic designers our job is to understand what branding really is. Branding is really a story. A story based on personal values with a clear mission. Logo design is an essential piece of the branding puzzle but it's not the starting block. When ever you go to brand someone, something, or yourself you need to know a few things. I work with a lot of start up companies and have them fill in the following before I will touch the design. What are your core values (I ask for 3-5) ?I want to be.... (3-5 statements starting with this)I want to be seen by others as.... (3-5 statements starting with this)This helps both the client and designer. For instance if you want to be seen as unique what makes your logo unique? Does is reflect the core values you have picked to represent yourself? If you have ever started a personal project and something didnt feel quite right. Maybe it looked great but didn't feel like you. This happens when you skip the most important step in graphic design, branding yourself. Once your have properly branded yourself you really don't get that feeling. If you get that feeling you need to look back and see in what part of the project did you stray from your personal believes. Best of luck!Kevin

Hi Kevin, I appreciate your perspective and input in regards to brands having a story. If you have time and are willing, I'd like your feedback on my branding project in this class as well. Best, Brandon

I agree with everyone else - you are already a graphic designer! I love the whole identity. The simplicity, clean lines and white space... Great work!

Clean, Simple, bold, etc etc etc: I love it! I dig the stark simplicity of it all! :D

I agree with Kevin. Based on your project, I think you are already a graphic designer. I'd love to know more about your creative process.Why did you choose the logo you did? Do you like to sketch? I really like it all, and would love to learn more.

What's stopping you from all ready being a graphic designer? :-). I do really enjoy your mark but I am curious to what process you went through to come to this result. Do you have different sketches you could share?Perhaps mood boards? Or maybe you wrote a brief for your identity. What creative process did you go through to get to this point?Best regards,Kevin

Great use of the different shapes! I agree with Kevin, with his challenge. Maybe you could share with us your own personal brief and process on how you arrived at this design. That said, this is great!
