MacKay Pipe Band Logo - Web and Print

These logos are based upon the clan crest and cap badge of the Clan MacKay (which my matrolineal line is descended from through my grandfather). The MacKay Pipe Band, started by him almost 30 years ago, utilizes the Clan MacKay badges as part of their logo, both in publication, website, and even instruments. In my desire to make the website logo look more authentic, and like a cap badge, I added metallic gradients to the web logo.

 

Lava Studios Logo - Web and Print

Lava Studios is my freelance entity where myself and several design oriented friends gather to work on website projects, including my daughter. In an effort to move ahead with business cards and a web site, I designed logos to reflect the enitity. Why Lava Studios? It comes from the lava lamp next to my computer monitor.

United Schwenkfelder Choir

The United Schwenkfelder Choir is one of my interests who I am currently working on a site for them. For the past six years, I have designed and printed their programs. It was last season when they decided to incorperate a website. This logo was their 80th anniversary as an organized choir. This logo was used for the cover of the program as well as printed T-shirts, which necessitated the work being done in Illusttrator.

Far From Heaven Guild Web Page Logo

This banner is a logo for proposal for my sister's World of Warcraft Raiding Guild. The image is supposed to give the viewer an impression of a war weary group (by the tattered look of their banner) far from the breaking clouds of filtered light; literally 'far from heaven'. I used various degree of masks and shading to obtain the effect of shadow and light filtering through the brioken twilight sky.
