Tuwi design – all forms of design

Here is a new collection of logos for your inspiration. We chose the category of calligraphic logos or handwritten.
Create a logo with these characteristics can often convey elegance. The logo in this case is represented by a sort of signature as to transmit confidence, and establish a personal relationship between the brand and the customer.
In the creation of a logo of this type the designer faces two types of choices.
The first is to use a font. in this case, it must be stressed that, when one or more letters are repeated in the logo, the letters are reproduced in the same way.
This choice may be good for certain brands, but can threaten to take away depth and “soul” for others.
Then the second choice is to change the font in the original vector in order to make different the letters that are repeated, or if you are a good drawer and you have a good handwriting, you can create a draft of the logo and then develop it into vector .
Both are good choices but the thing is, as always, decide what your logo should communicate!
An excellent source of inspiration for other logos is logopond.com…

The category of logos that we propose this week is that of head logos.
Some of the logos in this gallery have been found through creattica.com, a great looking website that you should visit, is an excellent source of inspiration!
The use of head logos certainly ensures a strong impact and high visibility for a client.
The vision of a logo with a face, that maybe look straight in our eyes is often a guarantee of success and attention from consumers. As often happens, however, this is a “weapon” that should be used very carefully and not randomly.
The ideal situation for a designer is when the client who commissions the logo has some special somatic features that distinguish him for sympathy and charisma. In such a situation, focus on the customer’s image, reproducing it in our logo is a winning choice. Consider for example the KFC logo! Success is more assured when our client is very ego centric. If you try to propose him an initial logo, a Typographic logo and a head logo  he will certainly choose the latter, and will thank you forever! We can therefore understand the importance of developing a brief  directly with our client, to understand not only what he wants, but also to analyze his personality, and, of course, his head:)

In the following post we would like to analyze logos and graphics used for promoting the 2009 summer festivals around the globe.
Summer festivals require a great organization from a logistical point of view, but certainly also in terms of communication.
A coordinated communication will highlight the promotion of the festival, especially when the artists taking part in the event are worldwide known.
It’s interesting to analyze how the genre of music played at these festivals is reflected on the characteristics of the graphics. An event like the Sonar of Barcelona, dedicated to electronic music, is translated in the minimalism of its logo and the simplicity of its typography.
It is instead very different the graphic choice of the Isle of White Festival. A historic festival addressed toward the rock music. These characteristics surely can be found in the event’s logo: vintage, naif, in a world… retro.
Also observe the use of the green that we find in different graphics.
