Concept Summary | Currey Creek Bulls


Logo Design Austin-Currey Creek-Austin Logo

 Logo created for a Bull Riding Team
 
 

Now I must admit this logo was fun to create. A bull riding team in San Antonio, TX was looking for a talented Austin logo designer to create their new logo that would be very prominent in rodeos, on hats, t-shirts and other merchandise. When you get a company that has the same 2 letters in the name, sometimes those are just the projects that just work perfectly. In this case I mirrored the 2 C's in the "Currey Creek" name which created the perfect negative space to create the bull as the focal point. 

The yellow and black color scheme really jump out and give the logo the high energy it needs being how this is for such a high energy sport as bull riding.  It was important when creating this logo that it would look great on apparel and other merchandise so by framing the logo in a black oval implied a "belt buckle" which is very symbolic in western culture.

Concept Summary | Kilman Associates


 

Logo Design Austin-K Associates Austin Logo

 Logo created for a Consulting Firm
 
 

Kilman Associates was looking for a qualified Logo Design company to help them create their new brand. The company is traditional so they wanted something unique to make them stand apart from their competition from other consulting firms in the area. I chose the strategy of playing off the company's initials, using the K and the A as artwork in a clean, modern design.

The monochromatic brown color scheme works well to give it that classic, traditional look while the logo is modern and fresh in contrast. Finding the right graphic designer is really important to creating a successful logo that will last the lifetime of the company and always feel new and fresh.

Concept Summary | ARQ Genetics


Logo Design Austin-ARQ Genetics Austin Logo Austin

 Logo created for DNA/Genetic Testing Lab
 
 

As an experienced Austin Tx logo design company, I get asked this question quite a lot from a client..."what makes a great logo?" Simple answer is simplicity and a clean design. A genetics lab contacted me in need of a new brand. They were a startup and needed a new logo, website and business cards.

It's subtle, but if you look closely you will see the clever concept of the DNA strand (above the letter R) actually create the shape of an "A" in the ARQ name thus making this a more memorable brand. A sleek color scheme of slate gray with dark blue accents followed by a pop of yellow really bring this logo to life.

 Creating a successful logo for an Austin startup begins with a talented and experienced graphic designer. A logo really helps give your company credibility in this competitive business world.

Concept Summary | Land Apparel


Logo Design Austin-LAND Austin Logo Austin

 Logo created for Lifestyle/Progressive Apparel Line

 

I had the privilege to design this logo for a lifestyle apparel brand. The company called "LAND" was looking for a talented logo designer to come up with a logo for this startup. The idea behind this brand was very organic so I created the logo to look as if it was indeed a part of land, giving it a shape reminiscent of looking at a land structure from a globe. The colors blend seamlessly together bringing in all the warm, earth tone hues to further evoke that organic feel.


This creative logo really came together beautifully and the client was extremely happy with the final product. The logo would be integrated on the apparel line (clothes, hats, hoodies, jackets, etc..) as well as for all digital marketing. Want to see more?

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 Designer Austin-Organic Fitness Austin Logo Austin

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.

Concept Summary | SimiSue

 

Logo Designer Austin-SimiSue Logo Austin

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.
