Other notes

AuthorActive, as a company name, is a bit on the nose, so for the branding I wanted to play with the "Active" part of the name to make the logo seem less obvious. One idea was to turn "Active" upside down in the logo both to show "action" and convey the sense that AuthorActive isn't your typical, traditional publishing outlet. I'm looking for a logo that is unconventional (for book publishing) and yet conveys experience, sophistication and professionalism at the same time.

Buds Productions
What does the brief say? An Amsterdam based movie and music production company. - The owners name is "Buddy" - We are a group of friends. Which in English you can call "Buds" - And we're from Amsterdam where people come to smoke weed, the weed flowers you actually smoke are called "Buds" as well. What does the designer do? An image (close to a coat of arms) that brings it all together.

C monogram logo for visual effects company

I love creating unique monograms so used this approach for Colony Visual Effects. As company is working on visual effects and making impossible stuff, possible, I decided to play with C, made with Escher-esque approach creating bending letter with impossible geometry theme. It works really great with subtle gradient giving this effect another dimension, but it works really great in single color as well. I took extra effort and created couple mockups showing this design used in various situations and in the end payed of.
