KonXions

This is a logo that I designed for a new Christian community that has started up in Western NY. The pastor (who happens to be married to my mother-in-law...) requested that I design a simple yet effective logo. This is what I came up with:

My goal with this logo was to make it have a much more modern and trendy feel. As opposed to the Cabin Creek Getaway one, this one is much more block-y, and gives the appearance of breaking out of itself. In order to make it less busy, but still get the point across, I chose to only partially fill the wall with bricks.  

Cabin Creek Getaway

So one awesome project that my in-laws have been working on is a cabin. They built a completely off-the-grid, self sustaining cabin complete with gravity fed water and propane stove and fridge. My husband and I stayed there, and Dad asked me to design him a logo. This is the result!

I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Little bit of design information. I decided on the round shape to make it more "woodsy." The point was that it would clearly represent the cabin whie being simple enough to be a logo. This was all done by hand, and every part can be moved and changed.

The type was chosen in order to be able to sub-conciously read it (always important!). I think one of the most rookie mistakes in design is making the text unreadable or difficult. Our brains are wired to avoid difficult to read texts, and it automatically makes a logo less approachable.
