The first was a logo for someone's wife on Twitter who is starting up a business fairly soon. Once i saw the tweet, i replied and began to give it a go. The businesses name was 'Little Monkeys Crafts' and she wanted a monkey surrounded by paint or paint spills.
I started by drawing up a baby monkey which i then transfered to Illustrator. Drawing over it, then some photoshop work to do the colours and voila! One logo. A bit of back and forth with tweaks here and there and it was finished. Here's the final image:

The second piece of design for was a Podcast competition. One of my hobbies is gaming, and whilst listening to a podcast called Malifools, they announced a competition for their Podcast Logo. I listened to this episode two days before the deadline, so i churned out a quick image for them and sent it off. I received some positive feedback for it, and provided i won i'd need to alter it ever so slightly. Here is the initial image i made:

Good news is, i won! So my design is now the Malifools podcast logo, and i got some cool swag in the process. The final image is below with the slight alterations:

The thought behind it was that the game is based upon a deck of cards and the whole mechanic is card based and not dice based. The logos are specific to the game of Malifaux, and so it fit the whole Malifaux aesthetic whilst incorporating the shocking pink of the Malifools.
Both of these were great at getting me to use Ps and Ai a bit more and even taught me a few new things about the programs which is always good.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
I will soon begin work trying to create a Wordpress site instead of using Blogger, to make a much more professional appearance. When it's all ready i will post up the new URL as the latest (and last) blog post on here to redirect those who visit this site. For now however, continue to read what i'm typing.
