Sára logo concept

Honey labels

-- a work in progress.

Minerva logo

I've been kindly commissioned by my friend Béla Kollár of Euroinstruments to do a logo redesign job for one of their clients. This is one of the concepts that were rejected by the client.

The logo is based on the historical iconography of Minerva, Roman goddess of craftsmanship and wisdom (and lots of other things as well). I found that most antique portrayals are rather unclear about the structure of the helmet she's wearing. It took me some researching to realise that she was supposed to be wearing a so-called Corinthian helmet, a symbol of glory and heroism at the time, tipped upward over her forehead.

Sketches: the helmet and how it could fit on the head.

Terrestrial Species

Artifacts

It's always interesting, albeit not necessarily uplifting, to see how my work is used by other people. Last year, I was hired to design a logo and a poster for a linguistic conference, that was held last week. Below are some items made using my design elements. Linen bag, booklet, and name badge. (NB. I was not involved in the making of these products.)

Clay sculptures

Typography Experiment

While cleaning up my computer I came across the remains of a logo I was going to design for a Swiss client a few years ago. The project has long been abandoned. This time, I've played around a bit with the simplified Gothic-like lettering concept I had originally had in mind.

Orange heads

The client requested a name day e-card. This was the first comp I presented them, and it got rejected right away. I had fun making it nevertheless.

pk v2 is up

My friend Philip Konya has completed the new version of his portfolio.

Baby swordfish illustration

I've just designed some baby rompers for a couple of friends in our sailing team who are becoming daddies this year.

My initial sketches looked like this:


However, I soon came to realise that they had nothing to do with swordfish but looked more like mutant dolphins or something. So I rechecked my references and came up with this sketch:


There was still something fishy about it though. So eventually, I changed the proportions of the body to give it a younger and more vivid look.


Update: Two quick shots of the finished product.
