Design Contest - January 2010

Every month at work we have a review of the prior month with a design contest. There are 6 different areas in which you can submit a design you had done within the past calendar month and then all of the designers have an internal blind voting. The 6 categories are enclosure logo (eg. NASA), logotype logo (eg. Coca-Cola), iconic logo (eg. Nike), illustrative logo, stationery design (letterhead, envelope and business card, and website design (based on the home page design).

In the design contest on Friday, I won 3 of the categories as voted by my peers at work. This was a really huge accomplishment and a huge honor. I have receive a lot of good help and guidance from some amazing designers and feel very lucky to be where I am and with such a great support team at work and at home.

I thought I would include 2 of the designs in a post and let you see what I have been up to. On the logo design, I created the logo for a re-branding of a hair straightening product. On the stationery design, the logo had already been created by a different designer, but I had applied the logo to a custom stationery, envelope and business card design to accent the company and draw the eye back to the logo. I hope that each of you have a great day.
