Design a logo of my name, expressive to my personality, limiting to black-and-white media.
To research my personality traits, and I completed various online tests to find out the main traits of my personality. The main idea is to develop a logo that will reflect my 'introvert' personality. I am not a dreamer but a person with a deep sense of integrity. Inspired by the researched material, I created different design concepts, using my first name.
After reviewing those ideas, I narrowed down my selection to three concepts. In the next reviewing process, I chose only one concept and decided to develop and modify it.
To further develop the chosen concept, I used unity, variety, contrast principles. I also incorporated Gestalt principles i.e. closure, similarity and figure-ground relationship. I used type as the main design element, because I thought the typographic element could be more impactful and more effective to convey the message of my introvert personality. The sans serif font 'Lato' is used here for my name.
I also used the text as a texture, to display my internal thoughts, inward thinking and 'introvert personality'.
To achieve a non-corporate yet sophisticated design, I designed my personal logo that can clearly describe the design concept. It also gives me the flexibility to use it with and/or without my full name.
