BRANDING: How to Design a Working Logo by: John Robert Ramos You’ve probably read a lot of ‘how to’ about designing a beautiful logo from somewhere in the web but it is rare to find a post on how to design a real working one. The truth about a beautifully designed colorful 3d logo is that it is just another identifying mark of a company or business and no matter how it is beautifully made, a logo cannot turn a business into a rocket success. But a working logo could play a vital role to your business success coming from its visual positive impressions. How? By creating a well studied logo. Every professional logo designer has it own style delivering an effective and working logo.

BRANDING REDESIGN

Published by John Robert Ramos

I love branding. I do this for a living and will always love to do it even for free… (only with exceptionally interesting zero budget startup and non-profit organizations) I believe in the power of a well-designed logo. Logo is the symbol of your brand and your brand is the face of your business. It defines and identifies your organization. Every small design elements of the identity is a trigger that remind of the brand. (Some text missing…) Pop! Here comes the sun. After making my own brand assessment, typography, color study, competitor’s research and usability of the new design I came up with a justifiable combination of grey and sunshine yellow logo. Graduation of grey and zesting yellow as the design element. Avenir STD LT as the standard font. Whether this new brand refresh will make it or break it, only time can tell. But I’m sure this one will be one of my legacies and will make me a legend. Lol! Blogpost by John Robert Ramos Images are owned by aertwrk.com

An element that brings new design opportunity and creates higher pitch of standard. This new design is not meant to replace Emrill’s corporate brand identity but only an element which is answering to the requirements of my own in-house clients. This monogram was custom-made to present the company to an upscale business.

The image below shows the construction of the monogram. A color palette that complements NYU’s identity. The following images will explain itself. “My artwork is a reflection of myself. Every details and every flaws. I’m a perfectionist although I can’t perfect and control the quality of my job done because of the people that contributes and influence …

So You Want to be a Graphic Designer

Published by John Robert Ramos

WHAT DOES GRAPHIC DESIGNER DO? Along with writers, clients, and other creative people who decide on what the content or message should be, graphic designers make the content look appealing to the client’s audience. Graphic designers are the people who design the magazines, product labels, shopping bags, websites, cereal boxes, newspapers, logos, stationery, books, movie posters, billboards, and millions of other things that we see many times every day. IS GRAPHIC DESIGN FUN? Absolutely. If you’re good at art, and like working with words, type, illustrations and images, you’ll probably enjoy graphic design. Graphic design is work, so is it always fun? Not always. The work can be tedious (like when you have to create 45 charts in Adobe Illustrator).

That means that most clients and bosses will want to have some say in what the project looks like. Here’s a great video showing a somewhat extreme example. Thanks to YouTube poster, TheMimeographer.
