Today, I have been working on creating 9 different iterations of my vector logo design.

They will consist of:

1. Contour lines  (Just lines- offset path)
2. 2-3 color flat tone (no shadowing or fancy techniques- just color)
3. Clipping mask and transform pattern
4. Gradient fills
5. Offset paths/outline stroke
6. Experiment!
7. Experiment!
8. Experiment!
9. Experiment!

Iteration #1- Contour Line

Iteration #1- Contour Line with different weighted strokes

 

Iteration #5- Offset paths/outline stroke

Iteration #2-  2-3 Color Flat Tone

Experiment!  *This is my favorite so far!!!

Currently, this is what I have for my demo design.  I've joined the line segments together, creating three separate pieces inside the circle:  the curled line down the middle, and the left and the right segments.

       Here is my idea of how I would like to highlight and shade certain aspects of my design.                                                                                                                                                                                It has a softness and a feeling of movement, which I really like.  

Getting Closer!

Here is another attempt at my logo.  This is definitely my favorite so far!  I'm looking forward to adding weighted lines to give this some definition and dimension.  

This skeletal design is a breakdown of my logo.  The soft yellow lines represent the framework for the ellipses.  The black lines make up the backbone of my initials.  These black lines will be the main component that I will be working on to enhance the logo.

This is my 3rd creation of my logo.  I've added different elements to this design and it is starting to take on the shapes I am looking for.  (Again, the added elements on the sides are NOT apart of the design-  just practice.)  

Here is my 2nd attempt with creating my logo design on Adobe Illustrator.  I've added the extra shapes on the sides to practice using my scissor tool.
