Katie Thomas - Creating Symbols

Haha, of course, I would try "dog" for my symbols exercise. This was interesting because as some information was stripped away, the silhouette would beg for something extra or different. For instance, as I worked on the image-related symbol, I added a raised front leg to give it more depth and it still read nicely as a dog. For the concept-related image, I changed the shape of the ear so it became much more recognizable on the dog's head. The arbitrary symbol has been reduced to the head with ears. However, this is still rather representative of the image of a dog. I feel like the arbitrary symbol still needs to be pushed a few more iterations until it truly becomes arbitrary. It's proven to be the most difficult to create. 

E. Anderson Logo Draft

One of my coworkers loves baking for others.  She has a big family, and she often makes the baked good for their major family events like weddings, birthdays, parties, and holidays.  She's been toying with making a side business to expand her cake / cupcake baking beyond her family and friends.  I worked with her sister to get information and ideas for the logo.

This logo could be used for a Facebook banner, is she ever makes a Facebook page.  It could also be used on a website, as stickers for cake or cupcake boxes, and on a business card.
