Concept Summary | Fighters First


Logo Design Austin-Fighters First Austin Logo Austin

 

Logo created for a Martial Arts Studio

 

A Martial Arts studio in Austin reached out to me to rebrand their existing logo into something more modern and fresh. The client told me that they wanted something that would translate easily to apparel, hats, t-shirts, etc..so it was important that the logo I designed was framed and felt like it could be placed on anything. 


Playing off the to "F's" in the company name, I came up with a creative solution to reflect these shapes while integrating a strong focal point with a silhouette in the center in a fighting stance.

Concept Summary | Organic Fitness

Logo designed for a Personal Trainer

 

I had a lot of fun with this logo. The client asked me to create a logo that was different and unique from other personal trainers out there. The organic style and gritty texture is what makes this logo come alive as if it's connected from the earth - highlighting the earth tone color scheme with  the roots and leaves coming off the runner further emphasizing that sense of movement.

If your business is interested in hiring a professional Austin logo designer to create your next logo, I offer this helpful advice:

The price of a logo should be based on two main criteria:


1. Experience/talent of the logo designer:


This is THE most important factor directly related to the cost of a logo. The old saying "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true in the design world. The talent and experience of the logo designer ultimately is the key ingredient to a successful logo design for a business that will last the life of the company.

2. Size & budget of the company using the logo:

The size of the company using the logo also plays a key role. For example, if the logo is designed for a small "mom & pop" shop in your local area with very little exposure than this logo is valued less than a larger national client where the logo will be exposed all over the country. The exposure of the artwork (its usage on print, web, commercials, apparel, etc...) ultimately plays a role in its value. 

Some logo designers will charge hourly and some prefer a fixed rate as it gives a clear figure upfront with no hidden or surprising charges. Budget is indirectly linked to how many hours a designer will spend on the project anyway, but this makes the creative process clearer for both the designer and the client.

Logo created for a Woman's Boutique

 

This start up hired SABA GRAPHIX to create a logo for a Woman's Boutique so it was important this logo had a very classy, elegant look to it. The black and pink color scheme really make the design pop and gives the logo a very trendy look. Clean, simple shapes of women in 3 different "fashionable" poses really tell the story and give this logo a sleek feel. 

Hiring an experienced logo designer can really help elevate your brand and give you the confidence to take your company to the next level.


Concept Summary | Stand Beside Them

 Logo created for a Non-Profit Organization Supporting US Veterans

 

 A non-profit needed help creating a new logo for their organization promoting the mental health and well being of US Veterans. After looking at several Austin Logo Design companies, I'm glad they selected me. The logo needed to feel patriotic, evoke a feeling of warmth and compassion...The idea of creating a "heart" in the negative space really created the perfect focal point as the shapes on either side resemble a waving flag, further emphasizing the vision for the logo.

Concept Summary | Central Texas Clinical Research

 

Logo Designer Austin-CTCR Logo Austin

Logo created for a Texas Clinical Research Company

 

Central Texas Clinical Research contacted me in need of a rebrand. As an experienced logo designer, they came to the right place. This organization conducts clinical trials so it was absolutely essential that the logo did NOT come across as too intimidating or "clinical."

The logo concept I came up integrating the "State of Texas" shape within the band-aid. Since this can be an intimidating place to go, I wanted to create the logo with feeling of warmth and hospitality.  The colors I chose were also very bright and cheerful using blues and oranges to really make the logo pop. Being an experience logo design company in Austin for over 20 years now, I really know what it takes to create a successful brand.

Concept Summary | Ozzie Futbol



Logo created for a Youth Soccer Coach
 
 

A soccer coach hired me as his local Austin logo designer in need of a spectacular logo for his business. His new soccer program specialized in youths so the logo needed to have an appeal for a younger audience. 

The idea behind this deign was to really emphasize the concept of growth and development. By the "roots" coming off of the "O" in the company name, this promotes a sense of movement as it wraps around the soccer ball.  Organic, earth tone colors were also key to this idea of "growth" to further compliment the root system.

Poster Design | Love Letters

 

Theatrical Poster Design for Love Letters
 

When a theater company putting on a new play asked me to design their new poster, I couldn't have been more thrilled. They were looking for a talented Austin Tx graphic designer who could create a unique, fresh design on a play that was originally published in 1989. My task as their graphic designer was to design a poster that had a new take with a visually engaging look & feel.

The play, Love Letters by A.R. Gurney allowed me to create something new and progressive. As an experienced graphic designer in Austin, I was given the creative freedom to put my own flavor on the design. The visuals are all there...the rose as the ultimate symbol of love and love letters scattered throughout the design. But it's how this design was created is what makes it so unique. A much more modern interpretation of a rose with a very clean, simple layout really catches your eye. The client was extremely pleased and was exactly what they were envisioning.
