Business card exploration

After some thought and some new inspiration, I have decided to change some aspects of the design for the rock climbing company. After trying some designs using my original colored logo, I have decided to drop the orange and blue color scheme. I want to communicate a masculine aesthetic that is associated with rock climbing. So, now, for the color scheme, I am working with the grey scale to mimic natural rock and a "burned" feel...

For right now...

The business card outlined in red is my finalized idea (...maybe?), and, once printed, the carabiner will be burned onto the page to add an interesting dynamic and texture to the piece.

Just playing around with some ideas for stationery...

Drum roll please!

Well, draft after draft and I feel I have finally reached the point where I can say the words: I have my final logo completed! It took a LOT of blunders to get here, but I am pleased with how this version has turned out. I hope you agree!

well...

Here is a finalized version of my last idea for the Wall Crawler Company Logo....However, after all the work, this did not turn out at all how I had envisioned it, therefore, this is not my last version. I need to clean up and de-clutter the design. I have the pieces, now its just time to organize them in a smart and simplified manner to create that professional aesthetic.

Tying it all together

Well, that light bulb of inspiration finally went on! I decided to incorporate the ropes used in belaying for rock climbing because I felt it more appropriate for the word "wall crawler". I also used a carabiner (A hook that I used for the 'C'). I then mimicked some of the knots used in belaying through out the letters.

Change can be good...hopefully!

FINALLY! I think I've got it! ....changing it up this late = crunch time.

Time to work and listen to some awesome music...

Going with the flow.

Some ideas: More to come!

Here are some ideas I am playing around with. These are really rough first stages but I'll have more to come!
