Recently desgined a logo for Canopy Artspace up in cairns, tropical North Queensland. Canopy is devoted to contemporary indigenous art and encompasses three organisations under its umbrella. The logo symbolises a ‘mosquito coil’ with the smoke from the coil forming the lettering, the 3 rings of the coil represent the 3 different organisations, this concept was orgianlly created by Theo Tremblay who runs Editions Tremblay Print Workshop housed at Canopy Arts.
I’ve just finished off a little project for CBDigital a small video production company. The project was a multi-media DVD containing over 40 presentations and discussions on spinal research and development for the SSA (Spine Society of Australia) an abnormal sort of client, but seemlingly familiar in the way that I have spent a lot of time with orthapedic specialists and had numerous x-rays over the past 15 months.
The project intself has taken roughly 50hrs flash development time, also included a day of layout and design. Built with AS3 it was the first time I have incorporated FLV’s in a project since using AS2. To be honest it was a breeze working with the flv using net connection and net stream… just loved it, listening for cue points worked seamlessly and I have fallen in love with Custom Events…. shit I sound boring! HA.
Well the other good thing about this job was it was running locally so no bother really with pre-loading, although there is still a time delay on loading images so loading still needed to be taken into consideration. The project as always had the additional functionality added towards the end and the job is done and dusted all alterations can now be made in the xml, something the client is more than happy to do…. unless more functionality is needed. NO WORRIES.
Anyway good fun job as it went smoothly and the client as always was happy!

Just completed a Logo Design for a good friend over at ‘The Lighting Hospital‘ in Bath, UK. Specialising in fixing industrial lighting electronics, my logo tries to emulate/REPRAZENT lights/electronics in a fix in kind of way. My preferred chioce is the cross shape, currentlty being referred to as the ‘Cheese’ it meant to be a light beam shining over a cross, connected to it is circuitry which forms the conneting to the name. The font used is orator, a classic monospace face designed font.
The client finally decided on the ‘H’ design rather than the cross.
Which one do you prefer?

Redesign of old logo I came up with these ideas, No.1 is the closest to the original and is the one which was selected and considering the subject (Finance company…. yawn) it’s the one I prefer.
Just a while ago I found out that there would be no more print Gocco art supplies being produced… Apparently the price of bulbs and screens has really increased in price. The Gocco is an amazing machine, but maybe I’ll have to upgrade to a full on multi carousel screen printing press, I’ve always wanted to print my own T-Shirts. Grrrrrruhhhh (Tim Allen grunt) Stay tuned for a CHOB shirt!
