These are a variety of logo designs and brand identity I created over the years. As a standard process - I start with several rough sketches, then pair the sketches down to the ones I feel fit the brand and are the best design. Upon deciding on the final logo, I convert it to digital format in Illustrator, ensuring that the artwork works well in multiple and single colors, as-well-as reverse format. I then complete the brand identity guidelines to ensure that the logotype and brand are used as they were intended to protect the brand.

Abstract graphics for the new booth design were printed on hard sintra panels, and lit by LED lights. Plasma TV screens, and product roller shades float in front of the panels.
