DJ Logo #2 - FINAL

Here is the final concept that I came up with for the logo. The bottom picture is what I started out with in terms of concept. I wanted to use those sun rays that I had made and give it a type of "glow from heaven" feel as well as a smoother shape such as the elliptical shape I came out with. I also added the DJ silhouette in the background to make it more appear-ant as to what the logo was all about. Also added little headphone over the "I" as well as a gradient on the "DIO" to emphasize the name and bring it out over the "DJ". This is my final logo design and am pleased with this and what is really nice about this logo design is that it is easy to change the colors around if need be such as the sun rays or letter colors. 

DJ Logo #1

First two concepts of my DJ logo. I decided to use half a picture of a vinyl to shape out the D. This "D" would be used for the beginning letters of "DJ" and "Dio". I then found a turntable arm to resemble the letter "J" and so I incorporated that next to the "D". In my first concept I added the "Dio" inside the LP because the inner label of it also formed a "D" and I thought it would be a clever design. Though I came to the conclusion that the "Dio" wouldn't be the part that caught people's eye. So in the second concept I decided to take the "I" and the "O" out and then shrink the turntable arm and have the needle rest on the vinyl as if it's playing. I then also incorporated headphones hanging on the vinyl as well and the sun ray effect in the background. I was not satisfied with this design afterwards and then decided to change ideas... P.S. I found a tutorial on how to make the sunrays on Photoshop.

Logo Project - Creative Matrix & 1st Concepts

This was my first idea going into this project. Decided to make a logo for a cannoli company. Decided to go elsewhere through this and had some other thoughts in mind instead. On the Thumbnail Sketches you can notice a completely different logo design for my DJ company and I started from there. 

10 Logos

Here is my 10 logo picks. The reason why I chose these ones is because they reflect me and what I enjoy. I also chose them because they each have a different feel to them and style. Majority of them are more simple and easy to read and really demonstrate the message behind each logo and company.
