This is the new logo for my fledgling design business, Run with It, LLC. I would imagine this will be going through several revisions before I settle on a final version. I am hoping it comes across as friendly and unassuming, while still having enough underlying complexity to scare away the competition.

The Northwest Teacher Research Collaborative (NWTRC), approached me in the summer of 2007 in need of a logo. After a few concepts and some back and forth, we settled on this logo, a soothing green and gray, sans-serif look.

My first professional logo. Old west inspired and filled with faded, rustic texture, this logo was probably the start of my serious aspiration to become a graphic designer.

The most text I’ve ever had to work into a logo. This one is not my personal favorite, but it does the job. This actually ended up being just about all the branding that was used to promote this event.

A logo design for Wulapalooza, an annual Earth, Art, and Music festival put on by students each year at Willamette. This was part of a rebranding of the festival that included a website, letterhead, and posters (links to come). I designed this logo on the free, open-source, and incredibly awesome vector drawing program Inkscape. These days, I’m using mainly Adobe Illustrator for my illustration and vector art, but I still return to Inkscape occasionally when I’m feeling nostalgic.
