This is my second attempt at a title page for our Making Of.. book.

This afternoon, I've been focussing on creating / reviving our old Chainsaw Wielding Baby logo. I had the idea of the chainsaw destroying the type, hence the massive chainsaw and sparks.

This *NEEDS* feedback. I'll be working on this until it's perfect.

As of time of posting, the video is still being processed on youtube. It may take some time to become available.

Our final logo design:



Some of our previous designs were a little too ambiguous to be recognised as a film/animation brand, becoming more like a product design label. Thus, changing the typography, the use of colour and the addition of a character helped to identify our logo as a creative, animation studio. The logo now features a fun astronaut character over the crescent of a moon to give the impression of a creative studio brand.

Hey guys, I've made a few adjustments to the logo after hearing feedback from Alan. I know we want to have gotten this done a lot sooner, but check it out and hopefully we will have it done soon.

Basically, I've tried to create a funky character to the design to make our logo feel more fun and creative. Its an astronaut character sort of walking the crescent shape sun/moon. Also, there are now three tones separate tones to distinguish the individual layers of the logo: Black, Red and a Darker Red.



For me, I feel the two designs on the left work better, where the wording of 'Animations' and 'Studios' seem to work equally well, so its now a matter of preference.

Eager to hear your thoughts and feedback guys, so we can sort this out asap.

Edit: I've just noticed a little bump on the crescent (due to image compression), but not to worry this will be fixed for the final design.

Expanding on the previous logo idea with the crescent sun/moon.



We later combined the previous two formats for this new possibly final design.

During our meeting, we discussed the situation of our studio name and logo designs. We came to the conclusion to rearrange our initials as 'KLED', read as one word, to form 'KLED Studios'.

We've also developed our logo further:



The simplicity in the design helps to ensure that it is easily identifiable, while being fresh and appealing with its typography and two tone colour scheme.

Hopefully, we will be able to determine our final design from here. Thoughts and feedback is most welcome.

Our first task on the agenda is to establish our brand identity with our Studio name and logo. So far, our initial studio name is LEDK Collaborations - formed by the initials of each our first names. As such, we've initially begun to design our studio logo around this name in mind.

I've gathered each of our logo designs into this post to help us finalise our design as a whole.

I tried the design using "delk" instead as it can be read as a single syllable.

I'm leaning more to the use of 'Studios' rather than 'Collaborations' as the later is perhaps a little too long. Using our initials as 'Delk' is also something to consider as it can read as one word, rather than stating 'L-E-D-K Studios'. Although, I just punched 'Delk Studios' into google which came up with this site known as 'Delk Design studios' which could pose a problem. As for the design, I think simple is best as we'll be using these across our images so they shouldn't be too intruding.

Its important that everyone is happy with our brand name and logo as we'll be using it for quite some time as our banner to unite under.

Public are welcome to add their thoughts and comments to this post!
