Every business needs a graphics department.

A friend of mine was so inspired by my starting up a business, that she decided to go freelance with her bookkeeping. We bandied about name ideas, and while her first instinct was to avoid using her last name, she quickly turned around when I suggested “Bookkeeping is as easy as ABC…Agostino Bookkeeping Co.” Here’s the first draft of logo design and color scheme.

Logos aren’t just about looking good. They need to project an image to the public. If you are thinking about a new logo, or a revision to an existing one, you are welcome to stop in and chat with me. Often, just throwing ideas around can end up in a billowing brainstorm.

Red Hibiscus is a Hawaiian fusion restaurant opening downtown. When they were told that their awning art had to be submitted in a particular format, they came to me. Unfortunately, what they wanted would not translate well for the purpose at hand. So, with some throwing around of ideas, a few rough drafts, and a final polish, a logo was born.
