Logos

Logos are a vital part of brand recognition for both large organizations and small businesses, providing a snapshot of the essence of the entity’s work.

This logo was designed for Southeast Minnesota Community and Technical College and won a design contest sponsored by the college. The eagle is the mascot of the college, the “S E” are the initials of the community college and the outline of the eagle forms a “C” denotes the fact this logo is for a college. The eagle facing to the right demonstrates that education is forward thinking and points to the future of everyone who attends there.

This second logo was designed for a custom log home builder in my area. The outline of the logo is shaped as a house since this is a residential construction company. The circles on the sides and the three circles on the roofline resonate with this being a company that specializes in logs. The tans and browns in the logo are a good fit because they look like wood.

This poster is for a classic musical and follows more traditional design concepts. The rotating of the letters of “rain” resonates with the falling nature of the raindrops.

Greeting Cards

Customized greeting cards are always a nice personal touch. I created this post card with an image I took at Yellowstone National Park of twin black bear cubs. This was a memorable moment for me and was one I wanted to share with others through cards and postcards.
