Default logo inspiration

Hi there,

I am designing a logo for 'Hillside Animal Sanctuary' and was looking for some inspiration and brainstorming as to what could be effective.

The charity helps and campaigns for animals needs, and to bring awarness to the factory farming industry. I've attached the original logo.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Thats far too fussy. I think i would look at simplifying those animals into bold shapes perhap,s overlapped.. Plus the text needs plenty of work

A good tip is to design in black/white first only. Add colour/s later. Try silhouettes. Perhaps a softer font would work here too.

Default Simplifying Animals

Some good website links there.

Yes, the existing logo is too fussy/detailed'. If the client wants it though, one can still incorporate animal characters into the design in a 'less' fussy way though.

For instance look at this design from myself below. We have three animals but the design lines are simple.

Woah love your 'Molly & Max'

Clean Clear Crisp. 21st century idea.



I 've just done the same with a logo

It became too busy - messy. Just got to engrossed.

Back to drawing board.

What about having the H as 2 sides of a rolling hills illustration?

Just a grassy green with the animal's in whitespace on them, then a clean looking logotype underneath [Formata, maybe? although that may be too modern looking]?

Default Los Logos

My personal favourite is a series of books called loslogos. They do have a webpage too but the books are a must.

Really nice logo above for Molly & Max!

Logo has to look professional and sleek. Otherwise what is the point of having a logo?
