Ardent Natural Gas, LLC - Logo re-Design

What I really love about the Ardent design was how clean, fresh and simple it felt.  The client had a clear vision of what was desired and the re-design process was a snap!  To clarify, this logo is a re-design of an older logo.  I wanted to give the client a choice between a 3-dimensional logo that looks as though the viewer could reach out and touch it, and a flat 2-d design that would work better for letterhead, stamping, etc.  I changed the colors but stayed in the blue color spectrum.  I changed the curves and feel of the flame to something that seemed more random or natural.  The result is a very trustworthy, classy logo that draws the viewer into the now with natural gas.

Three Muses

Three Muses is an exploration into modern culture, my own fusion of cultures into my own existence using the idea of the nursery rhyme and how we want to warn children of the dangers lurking around them but through a means which they can relate, the illustration or cartoon, and the rhyme.  These illustrations portray cultures which have influenced me or are part of my background.  I plan to continue illustrations of this nature to explore modern culture, beliefs and current affairs.

Biblical Interpretations

I recently started a series of illustrations entitled Biblical Interpretations.  These pieces are about exploring the Biblical subject matter in unconventional ways using modern technology.  I will be continuing the work in the series and adding more to the blog concerning this.  These are the first 3 works:

Final Bottle Design & Ad for "Fizzle Pop"

I chose to reduce the bubbles on the top portion of the bottle and offset them.  This gives the bottle a less busy, cleaner look.  I added the small fp logo to the bottom to give the audience association and added the flavor of this particular bottle design at the very bottom of the bottle.  Overall, the design is fun, yet clean.  It contains pop colors that contrast well with the black so it will appeal to youngsters and their folks as well.  The center portion of the bottle allows easy grip for the kids, but is reminiscent of the old coke bottle design, which, unbeknownst to the market, will be comforting.
