This logo is a wide variety of things all put together to create a version of me. It has a 5 pt. border in red, a space of about 5cm in between the border and edge of the shield and the shield itself has a 3 pt. border on it. The inside of the shield is a golden yellow and the shield itself is split by a trident. The trident has no stroke so as to avoid the coloring book type of look. This logo is a very solid type of logo, representing my trust in myself and my decision making abilities. I also gave it a shield design because it is a very common branding image in professional logos.

 

 

         To create this logo, I used a variety of tools including the pen tool and the paintbrush. I created the shield by using the pen tool which leads to a much more refined look. The eagle was traced by using both the pen tool and the pencil tool. First, I lowered the transparency of the eagle to 43% so as to make it easier to trace and recreate on the shield. Then, by showing the eagle at a different angle, I created a vision of an eagle swooping down with majestic grace. It has my initials under it, in a fancy font to look more regal. The branding message behind this is a view of me and my character as the world sees me.
