Clos La Chance Stompers T-Ball Team
Continuing the theme of designing logos for my son’s activities, this is a logo I came up with for his t-ball team. I actually suggested the “Stompers” name too, as the sponsor is a winery, and immediately had this idea for a logo.
Cinnabar Circle Logo
This is the logo I designed for my son’s “circle” of the YMCA Adventure Guides program. At first I was worried about the prospect of designing a logo based on a rock, but I was relieved to find that cinnabar actually occurs as an attractive red crystal.
Duff Research Logo
This is the logo I designed for a consultancy focused on the development of applications for mobile and embedded devices. The stylized D represents a mobile phone, like an iPhone or a Droid.
Comity Designs Business Card
I designed these business cards for Comity. The design features a simple and straightforward layout, but the cards are distinctive thanks to a background based on an abstract version of the “bug” in their logo.
Logo for Holly Barr, Realtor
When she started her real estate business in 2002, Holly was apprehensive about incorporating holly leaves into her logo. She was afraid it would seem “christmasy” all year ’round. I made the case that she frequently introduced herself as “Holly…you know, like Christmas” so it was pretty unavoidable. Furthermore, I believed that the simple mark of green holly leaves with red berries would be attractive, distinctive, and easy to apply to all of her materials and signage. She agreed, and today her logo is recognized throughought Willow Glen and the South Bay.
LeadWrangler Logo
Logo for a service designed to get leads for local businesses, called LeadWrangler, and shown in context of a graphic explaining the service’s value proposition.
Domain Methods Logo
Logo for an Internet startup specializing in search engine marketing for local businesses.
TIBCO Solution Image
This is a high-level representation of TIBCO’s solution stack that I designed. It’s not a logo, but doesn’t fit into any of my other categories and I wanted to include it.
GBarr MarCom Logo
I have to admit it, I love this logo. I love how the intertwining “g” and “b” form a continuous path, giving it some motion and energy. More importantly, I like how the flow of the path is in from the left and straight out the top. To me the path through my initials says “If you put something (i.e. raw information) into “gb” he will turn it into something totally awesome (i.e. a brochure or web site) that will drive you to new levels of success.” The last thing I realized and now like about the intertwined g and b is how well they break off into their own little design — perfect for the icon you see in browser tab, and makes a nice pattern when tiled.
Green TIBCO Logo
I surprised a lot of people in the TIBCO marketing department with this particular logo, specifically because of how it so prominently leveraged (bastardized?) the the blue element of the TIBCO corporate logo. I had been TIBCO’s “brand cop” since before anybody else on the team even started working for TIBCO, and I’d rejected many different attempts to use or modify the blue square element of our logo. But this image popped into my head as soon as we started discussing the need for a logo for the program, everybody liked it, and I decided that this was an instance where bastardizing the logo for the sake of mother earth would be just fine.
