perth work design logo

Yeloroll refreshed it's logo when I was designing their new website.

The logo was not translating well to the online medium, and losing legibility at smaller sizes. I proposed an alternative logo, and illustrated the benefits by show a comparison of it used on a webpage.

Being visually less complex, and by occupying a horizontal space, the new logo design is much more web friendly. The graphic elements of the logo describe the colour and shape of the company's main product, as well as communicate the idea of a conveyor belt.

Inspiration

Thinking for a Living

Serious inspiration, on tap. Thinking for a Living is an online magazine for designers and other aesthetes. The main attractions for me are the thoughtfully written feature articles and the carefully curated list of links.

Pictory

Pictory is a beautifully designed and tightly curated photography showcase. The combination of large beautiful images with human stories delivers a compelling experience, not dissimilar to that of pouring over a high quality book.

SouthSouthWest

SouthSouthWest is a Melbourne based design studio responsible for putting out razor sharp work. When I need to remind myself why I love what I do, I'll visit their portfolio to see design as good as it can be.

Mash

Mash makes beautiful and surprising design for enlightened clients. Interestingly, they do a lot of wine label work, and they're amazing. All packaging should be this good!
