Since this week has been one of those weeks… I am going to have to dig something up from the old sketch book. I do have all manner of rambunctious children and critters drawn and doodles in the stacks of books, but this logo caught my eye.I worked on this project over a two-year period, first for Downtown Vision where I developed a direct mail and an online marketing campaign. The following year, the City of Jacksonville took the event over and as they were already a client, gave me a call to work on a new project of theirs. It is funny how things just seemed destined to be. We continued producing the direct mail pieces but the online component was scrapped. Luckily they did want to redesign the existing logo and after filling page after page after page with thumbnails, I came up with the award-winning logo that you see here. It even graced the cover of one of David Carter's logo books! Unfortunately, funding went away and so did the project but it was fun while it lasted. Their new agency liked my photography so much that they lifted one of my photos to use on the Downtown Vision's new site. Lucky me!!
Hopefully, I will have more time to get back to creating new work next week. Happy holidays to those of you lucky enough to be starting early.

I'm so sorry, I have not been able to find your lost days, but wherever they are, mine might be there too...maybe they are partying down at some kind of lost-days club, all we can do is hope they decide to come back soon! Anyway your logo totally makes me want to go to Friday Fest! It looks so fun, and I love seeing your pencil sketches too!
