Onewebsite Logo

My biggest project to date – website and design company called Onewebsite. I developed this logo to represent the parts to the whole – the Many that creates the One. To me, this graphic presents the holistic nature of design and geometry and the foundation upon which to develop any principals – There is always a beginning, and end and a framework to support the details. Each of the six elements represent a spectrum of principals on the framework. While this is the highbrow inspiration for the logo, the name Onewebsite was created when I was sketching out the most important marketing tools for small business

Exclusive Styles

My most recent Logo was done for my company website design and development company Onewebsite when my designers where just not getting the result I was looking for and the deadline was looming. I utilized a concept from a previous, now defunct company called Synapse. The “Exclusivity” is obvious, I think. One of my favorite logos.

Saskatoon Yellow Jackets

When I received the project to create a website for the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets, there was already a logo in place, it was just under-developed. The icon of the Bee stood alone, with undefined lines, hands, and details. I created the “Y” graphic based on common vintage baseball typography. I also added a third color, red, while making the other colors more pronounced and saturated. The broken bat is a little cliche, but I am happy with the results.

Velocity Trading

The word Velocity comes preloaded with immediate ideas of graphic representation. For me, and for this company however, I chose to represent the concept of perpetual motion. The company was founded on the idea that velocity of money is the best way to create wealth – keeping it standing still will yield a lower return that keeping it moving through the eco-system of the economy.

Great Norther River Festival Logo

With this logo wanted to capture the speed, water and intensity that only an image one of the boats would provide. I also knew I wanted to create a graphic illustration for the entire design of the campaign which I was responsible for. The result was an icon sketched from a photo in illustrator. I collaborated with other designers for various implementations of the logo for use in posters, hat’s, TV spots and billboards.
