My Logo Designs
We decided to create our logo based on our name, Riveting Ink. Which comes from the World War II, cultural, and feminist icon, Rosie the Riveter.
[The original Rosie the River poster used during World War II]
What the logo needs
We decided first and foremost to create an icon that includes her arm since, collectively, we believed that this was the most memorable part of the image. We also thought it was a good idea to possibly include her headband as part of the image so that you can be sure that it’s Rosie the River’s arm. As well as this we thought it was a good idea to show her holding an ink pen. This way we’re incorporating both parts of the design, Rosie the Riveter and inking comics.
My design process
With my three designs, I wanted my designs to incorporate an ink splash effect so started my researching different effects:
[Google web search for ink splashes]
I noticed that a lot of the ink splashes are quite random and blotchy so wanted to add that to my design. I also made one that was a little rounder and cleaner with the effect because while I wanted the ink splashes to be there I still wanted it to look professional.
The font
I also looked up different fonts to create the text:
[example from Dafont.com of Blowbrush]
I used Dafont.com to do this and settled on BlowBrush which is free to use for both personal and commercial use. I then realised that I wanted to bend the text in a certain way so it fit within the ink splash. After using some of the tools in Photoshop I decided that I would roughly trace over the text which I think would add to the handmade look of the design.
Final design
In the end, the group decided on my second logo and after seeing that I decided the final image could do with a little cleanup.
[Left original design, right finally finished design]
In the final logo, I decided to make it a little rounder than the original, moved the text around so it fits better, made the arm and scarve more clear, and a few little extra tweaks.
Logo Research
This is a video I used when designing the group logo. I found his pointers to be quite helpful and watched quite a few of his videos when creating my logo design. In one of his videos, he also said that when creating a logo a good rule of thumb is turn it black and white and see if it still looks as effective. Another thing I found helpful was that he said it’s best to not make the design to ‘busy’ keep it so it can look good both small and large.

5. Emblems
Unlike combination marks, emblems involve text being placed within the confines a symbol, rendering the two practically inseparable.
Emblems tend to look more official, and are popular choices for government or political organisations, but are also used by private companies such as Starbucks Coffee. Whilst emblems are not as flexible as combination marks, it allows for a more compact logo design that can fit into tighter spaces. The placement and scale of text is crucial here; ensuring it fits with and compliments the symbol it is contained within, without drawing away from it to a large extent. Readability also needs to be considered, as the text may not always be legible at smaller sizes.

4. Combination Marks
Combination marks are an incorporation of both text and symbol into a logo. They can spell out the name of a brand or company whilst simultaneously associating themselves with a visual icon. The design for combination marks needs to be particularly well-researched and tested, to ensure that both type and imagery or graphic symbols work well together as a whole.
Additionally they can be split apart, so that only the text or logo feature on occasion, despite originally being joined together. If, for instance, a logo is also being used by another brand name or company identity, adding unique text to it can help to set it apart.
