Logo


T
he Facebook Logo is a plain, but effective logo that transcend as years goes by. It has a standard mark on social networking.

The Adidas logo has lasted through several decades and still has the overall affect it did when it was founded in early 1940's.

I think this bird is poor representation of Twitter. It doesn't resonate to many individuals, and it looks dull.

This is the Ravens first logo when they arrived to Baltimore in 96. The triangle is is suppose to a resemblance of Baltimore, but it looks like a cup with wings protruding of the sides. I'm glad the logo was redesigned.

2 Color pieces with a negative and positive impact

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/12/02/sports/03jets_slide6.jpg

I'm a avid football fan, but when the New York Jets decided to play in their old uniforms I couldn't hold my vomit. The current Jets Uniform meshes reminds us of the Joe Namath days. The uniforms above are a darker rendition of the current Army football uniforms. Its pretty difficult to distinguish the two.

I believe the yellow in the Nikon logo is used accordingly and depicts a different quality of brightness. Nikon is known for there quality cameras and yellow gives it a bright after thought when purchasing a camera.

Underground Music Scene


This is a magazine layout of the London underground music scene. If you compare the multi color lines to a New York transit layout, they're very similar. Each white dot dictates a well known band or musician at each appointed site; if you compare it to the NY transit diagram, they highlight the famous landmarks in NYC. Its a very distinctive layout that I found online.

One TYPE word, solves everything

When I first thought of a "type only" word that was used a solution, marketing wise, Avis automatically became a viable option. The word gives Avis a basic, yet worldly profound impact on the industry.

What else do I need to explain? This company has been the primary resource for 90% of workforce operations.

Creative Concepts

This is the NFL Network logo when broadcasting on National TV. Incorporating parts of the NFL Logo into their network logo gives viewers the idea that the NFL and NFL Network are still in conjunction.



This is the logo of the United States Institute of Peace. It reminds me of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act logo, just in black and white. The picture concentrates on the effort of changing the earth starting with the environment.

Designs that caught my attention


The Hawaiian Punch label that graces the 1 gallon bottle has always made me believe the flavor was always fruit punch. Even when the flavor consists of different fruits, the fruits on the label have never changed.
With my irresistible love for Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ), I found a Heineken Ad that instantly required me to purchase a 6 pack from the store. Nevertheless, the concept behind the ad was creative and properly used. A quick card game, pool side at a nice house is how most people would like to drink a Heineken. Also, the spec of light shining down on the kegs just bring more emphasis to the bottles.

I took this ad from the September issue of Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ), and I was turned away from the color scheme used to promote their new team of fragrances. Ralph Lauren has polo shirts similar to the bottles, and since I'm not a huge fan of the shirts, the bottle selection doesn't help the collection.

This Slam Magazine cover not only inspired me because I'm a L.A Laker fan, but the color scheme also caught my eye when I received it in the mail. The cover reminded me of Game 7 of the NBA Finals. If any of you can recall Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Hollywood spotlight shined down on the court and that's the affect the magazine covers perpetuates.
