Logo design - steve Teller

this pic shows 5 early versions of my logo they are described below

this was the first i wanted something that showed parts of the whole

this pic shows another version of parts of the whole including a bubble for each letter in my name STEVE T

This one is similar to the above but iwanted to literaly show a connection between the letters

This shape just popped into my head as i was connecting the dots

this was a blend of the lightning bolt and the segregated letters, it made me think of an EKG blip at a hospital

The final  logo. I used the lightning bolt idea, the segregation of the letters in my name, shading and balance in my final EKG lighning bolt logo. It symbolizes me as life and energy.

I thought creating the logo was  "OK" at best, it was a lot of brainstorming and im still not entirly sure that I like the finished product. I can still see "me" in the logo though.


I tried to think of things that people associated with me, things that I like etc. When it came down to it, I ended up just doodling and drawing shapes, then it started to take shape i went from circles to an EKG  THAT is transition. :-)

The most important dicovery that I made, was respect for designers. It was difficult in such a short time to brainstorm a lot, so I think that the people that can do it easily and well for a living are very talented.

The most important thing i learned in the videos and PPT were that in order to do a logo well, there is an immense amount of preperation and stages of creation involved. Everything must be fine tuned, in order to creat the finsihed product.
