    I normally go for very simplistic logos – not because there’s anything unattractive or wrong with a complicated one, but the simplest ones are the most effective and memorable. I’d struggle to think of many particularly successful brands who have had a complicated logo.

    I supplied this client with a few ideas but they had their heart set on having a character as their logo, and I never turn down the opportunity to get the pencils out and do a bit of drawing. London Calling sell make-up, but to a more alternative demographic, a little bit “camden market”.

    Sketch after the cut.

    My work might be digital, but many of my illustrations begin on paper in good old-fashioned graphite. Yeah, the hand looks bad, but it was going to be covered up with the type, so there wasn’t much point spending time on that section. The image ended up flipped so tweaks had to be made (you’ll be surprised how different a picture can look mirrored!).
