Metallic Emblem for Power Sports

/in , , /by

This Power Sports metallic emblem was an alternative logo design used on the scooter models itself. It was rendered to have a 3D effect like other car company logos. This logo was used for a long period of time. The initial design was based off of a police shield emblem to portray a sense of safety. It’s also simple enough that its vector can easily translate to other forms. After a few years in circulation, they decided to use my other logo instead. In things considered, the other logo was better for the overall look of their company.

Power Sports Logo

Power sports logo has gone through many changes as the company grew. The company specialized in branding affordable scooters and other recreational vehicles in the U.S. In any event this was my logo creation and it was used mostly for their e-commerce and document branding. The logo had so be simple enough that it could be eventually transferred over as a metal emblem often found as branding for vehicles. Ultimately, it was used as their main logo and can still be seen on their site today. Eventually in a few years it was also used as their vehicle emblem

American Aircraft Interiors Logo

/in , , /by

The American Aircraft Interiors logo (logo-002) was created in 2005 for an aircraft upholstery company. The company is located in the Temecula/Murrieta area at the French Valley Airport. It has been in business for more than 20 years. I’ve known the owner personally since 2004 and we’ve done many great things together. The company needed an update on their logo for future expansion. They also wanted to give the feel of prestige and luxury as their old logo was clip art from the 90s. Since then it has since been an important part in branding increasing profits over 150% within 18 months.

 

CONCEPT AND DESIGN

The client wanted the logo to be stylized similarly to the NASA logo. Since the company name is quite long I had to block it into 3 lines so that it could fit in certain design spaces. With “American” in the title, I went with a red, white, and blue theme.

I’ve also handled their website http://www.americanaircraftinteriors.com since 2004.

Medical Billing Logo

/in , , , /by

Logo-001 was created in 2002 for a medical billing company looking to standardize the health care billing processes. The company worked in close conjunction with the UCLA Medical Facility. In addition, they were in negotiations with USC as well. This was my first job right out of college and it definitely looked great on my resume. I was hired as the youngest Business Development Executive within the UCLA Cardiologist Group. My fondest memory is having dinner with the Executive Director of UCLA, USC, and the CEO of the company. As a result, after the dinner I received a dozen business cards and job offers.

 

CONCEPT AND DESIGN

The three dots represent processing dots since they were trying to streamline billing. The word is pronounced A-Vaunt-Tay so as a result I put an accent tilt on the E.

Findapix Cards – FAP Cards – Volume 3

/in , , /by

FAP Cards

Findapix Cards (or FAP Cards for short) were invented as a fun little way to bring our online community together. In 2001 I was part of a picture-based web community called Findapix (or FAP as we liked to call it before it had a second meaning) and I frequented the forums on a daily basis. Many of the friendships I have today came from that site. Many of us were into Photoshopping wars and had career backgrounds in design. People who received FAP Cards often used them as their avatar.

My friend CJ from www.defytrends.com created the first 2 volumes of FAP Cards. He’s one of the select few designers I respect and I would even go as far as to credit him for making me think outside the box when in came to finding off-the-wall design solutions for clients. I took what he created, with permission, and continued the tradition while adding in my own design flair.
