Collection of Symbol and Logo Designs

Project Overview

This case study presents a curated collection of symbols and logos created over the years. These designs encompass various styles and inspirations, including experimental concepts, traditional Shevitsi motifs, and modern decorative symbols. The aim is to showcase the diversity and creativity in my approach to symbol and logo design, highlighting the evolution of my design skills and artistic vision.

Objectives

The primary challenge in this collection was to explore different visual languages and techniques to create unique and impactful symbols and logos. The focus was on:

Experimenting with different styles and themes.
Incorporating traditional and cultural elements in a modern context.
Ensuring each design has a distinct and memorable identity.

Selected Works

Experimental Symbols

Abstract Geometric Designs: Created using abstract shapes and geometric patterns, balancing complexity and simplicity for striking and recognizable symbols.
Organic Forms: Inspired by nature, these symbols feature fluid lines and organic shapes, capturing nature's essence in minimalist forms.

Shevitsi-Inspired Motifs

Traditional Meets Modern: Incorporating traditional Bulgarian embroidery motifs (Shevitsi) into modern logos by reinterpreting historical patterns with contemporary design principles.
Cultural Symbols: Designing logos that reflect cultural heritage and appeal to modern audiences, requiring a deep understanding of cultural symbolism.

Decorative Symbols

Intricate Patterns: Creating symbols with detailed decorative patterns using symmetry and repetition for a harmonious, aesthetically pleasing effect.

Studied various sources of inspiration, including nature, traditional art, and modern design trends.
Analyzed different styles of symbols and logos to understand their construction and impact.

2. Sketching and Ideation

Began with rough sketches and brainstorming sessions to explore different concepts and ideas.
Created multiple iterations of each design, refining the shapes and forms to achieve the desired effect.

3. Digital Creation

Transferred the best sketches to digital platforms using Adobe Illustrator.
Experimented with different color palettes, gradients, and textures to enhance the visual appeal of each design.

4. Refinement and Finalization

Conducted several rounds of refinement, focusing on symmetry, balance, and clarity.
Ensured each design was versatile and could be used in various contexts, from print to digital media.
