Minimal Octopus

I don't have much logo design experience, and it's always a challenge for me to minimalize, so this was a great learning experience for me. I chose the coconut, or veined, octopus because I love cephalopods and the animal already lends itself to beautiful form and symmetry.

INSPIRATION

SKETCHING

I originally wanted to study the chambered nautilus, my favorite animal. Unfortunately, the nautilus proved to possess a blobby and unrecognizeable silhouette.

Sketching is always my favorite part of the process and if I could go back, I would have spent more time creating more variations.
