I’ve been trying to create a new logo for my freelance portfolio and biz cards, and although I am pretty sure this particular effort is a bit to busy to work as is, I’m also pretty sure I’m taking it in the right direction – I just need to make a version that is more minimalistic, without the gradients and shadow-stuff, probably. But it has the elements I want – wings to symbolize inspiration, a stylized gear to symbolize application, and splats of colorful paint for a playful artistic effect. Here it is. What do you think?
