graphics and logos I like

Over the past few weeks, I have seen many different graphics that I find both inspiring and visually pleasing. There is a new show on ABC called "Happy Endings" and the opening credits and logo is great. The font looks somewhat handwritten and goes well with the actual t.v. show. I like the color choices of blue and white, and the use of drawn lines under the text during the credits. The font is simple, cute, and not perfect which is exactly what the show is. In my publication design class, we learned about the importance of a font in business, television, books, etc. and how it should describe the business, television show, book, etc.

I really like the Modern Family logo for the television show also on ABC. The design team that decided to use two different fonts for the main logo was very successful. The pairing of a plain, sans-serif modern looking font used for the word "modern" and a more vintage classic serif font for the "family" describes the show very well. I also like the color choice of black and orange, the use of red or green just would not work as well. Orange is quirky and fun, similar to the show.

In terms of clothing design, I am completely in love with the company "Iron Fist." It is a clothing company that has a great style. Their graphics are similar to the style that I have and like. It has an old, vintage tattoo feel, with hints of horror movie-rock'n'roll-punk. I love this logo, their main logo in use because it is simple and effective. It shows their style completely and is very classic.

They have many more, but here are some of my favorite.

 This logo is also very strong too. It has a complete tattoo feel, with fonts used in tattoos and cross at bottom to finish the logo. I like the drop shadow added as well.

This logo is also very strong. I love the skull and roses on each side because it really completes the graphic. The font is amazing with a 3D affect, slight gradient, and curves throughout.

 Another company I like is "Lucky 13." They have some great designers that create some awesome graphics. Some are not my style, but some are completely what I love. They also have the vintage tattoo feel with use of pin up girls, horror films, and rockabilly music influences. 

I love this graphic! The font has the old tattoo feel, with red and black gradient (which is my favorite) with roses, swirls, crown, stars, and color scheme. The is one of my favorite because it is a hand written font, not plain and with a feeling like it's been used a lot before.

I also love the Bettie Page brand. They have the BEST dresses ever, I just wish they weren't so expensive. Their graphics are great because they stay true to Bettie Page and the time period. The graphic of her face is perfect, with a simple use of black and white, and added color in the hearts in the name. A green stripe with leopard background helps with the overall graphic.
