A Quilt with Scowled Sails

Response I:

cross-cut of vision:
an error applied upon
culture's medium

Response II.

The variant pause
through seas of writhing promise,
unveils caustic poise

Response III-

Coinciding gaps
bounding folds of direction
spanning acute form

Response IV_

Geometry's range
of lauded adoration,
shaping folds of time

Response V

Confusion grown stale
sears the forlorn effigy
misshapenly sized

Logo Designs 6-23-12 (For Creative Tuesdays)

This week's Creative Tuesdays theme is Blog Icon/Button. Well, I have to admit, I have no idea how to go about making a button, but, in a sense, well at least very relatable, this seems to fall into the realm of Logo Design, so that's how I chose to go.

I've been a fan of corporate logos for sometime. Even as a Kid I always loved seeing a really good one, and have dabbled with creating my own over the years as well. In fact, I used to make up sports teams names and try doing their logos as well. I have a post of some of these that I posted back a while, in case anyone wanted to check them out.

Unfortunately, when i get outside the world of abstract, my artistic ability is rather limited. But I'm trying here and there, and I have to say I think I'm getting better at the more traditional styles, and I have Creative Tuesdays as a main reason for the progress, as while you can pretty much incorporate abstract into anything, but many of the themes It gives you a great opportunity to at least attempt something outside your comfort zone, and like many of the times, I didn't like what I was getting so I went back to the abstract, but the old adage, practice makes perfect rings oh, so true.

For this theme, I used the inverted C with a triangle in the center. I've used this logo numerous times, for a variety of things, over the years, and it's kind of stuck with me. So, for this first design here, I did one by itself and then in the center I did an expanded design featuring it in various poses, so to speak, and then in the bottom I played with a logo utilizing the Sqwerm blog name. It's a lot of fun, and a great theme this week. Can't wait to see all those submitted.

And, just for fun, while I had the design fresh on the screen, I pulled out my faithful friend, the knife and played around with the logos, and in the process, created an abstract piece.

Head on over to Creative Tuesdays, check out all the pieces that have been linked up, and if you're up for it, read over the rules, create your own and share it with the community.
