Emerald sky logo

Here is the beginning exploratory phase of the Emerald Sky logo. Since this publishing company specializes in Sci Fi and Fantasy, I had fun playing with the idea of spaceships and celestial forms. I thought about sketching griffins and pegasus', however that wouldn't work with the other 4 logos, because they are literal descriptions of the name of the company. 

 The comet was the best pick for the client and I am glad she did. I feel that the comet best includes both the sky and the emerald. Here I got to play with comet tails and figure out what the rock would look like. The client picked C with the rock in A. When I was finalizing the logo, I realized that the trail was too straight, plus the positive space wasn't working for me. So I changed it to be more dynamic and more like a comet orbiting an unseen mass.

Dream

This project is title, "You are what you.." and I choose dream. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do for this project. Usually people think of "you are what you eat" or some other variation. One night I had a dream that I was flying and it is such a cool feeling. A lot of the time I wish I could fly in real life, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. So this dream inspired my illustration of a girl flying. I wanted to capture that feeling of freedom I get in my dreams, like no one can catch you and nothing is tying you down. I had fun playing with the colors and shapes and just getting the feeling of flying.
