Logos

Logo for Manuel Herrera

This logo was created 20 years ago. Classic designs will always stand the test of time. This was for a very talented construction worker, who while not that old, is well known for the almost lost art of repairing old plaster walls entirely by hand and leaving a perfectly level, smooth surface. Created using Illustrator.

Logo for Innovative Energy Solutions

Innovative Energy Solutions was a startup business whose main focus was installing solar energy in homes and commercial buildings but with a promise to become much larger. The logo had to convey a “green” mindset and a feeling of energy. I also used the arrow as a symbol of moving forward.

Logo for Waah Nam Noodle House

This noodle house was changing its name and overhauling its menu. Although designed as a multi-purpose image, it was predominantly used for signage and menus. The budget was very small. Created in Illustrator. Bowl and small dish are stock images. I also created their menu and table numbers.

Logo for Vallejo Boat Works
