Symbol for Jennifer Patton: Freelance Painter

The logo was made to represent a painted butterfly, because it truly captures the client's personality and style of painting. The wings are made up of a stylized "J" and "P," to represent the first letter in her first and last name. The front colors were pulled directly from the back image of her painting.
Jen Patton sells her paintings primarily online, so the back of the card is only a detail of one of her paintings, which is meant to lure potential buyers to her site, without giving away the whole painting.

Logotype and Business Card for UPtimizm

 
UPtimizm provides clients with methods, tools, and expertise to achieve superior results through effective execution management. This logo was created to differentiate "Up-timizm" from the actual word "Op-timism," to make the audience truly look at it and appreciate the play on words. Secondly, the color choices are based on the theory that green represents money, which UPtimizm plans on helping their clients with through their methods; and blue, in theory, is a very corporate color, while it represents truth and energy. All things UPtimizm wants to emulate to their new clients. Lastly, the use of the arrowheads dotting the "i" represents growth, moving forward, and very literally translates the "UP" in the company name.
