refining my logo

       The final logo stood out not only because of its strong design, but also because several of my classmates voted it as the best option. Their feedback made me take a closer look, and I began to see why it worked so well. The bold “JD” catches your attention right away, and the red color gives it energy, personality ,and contrast.

This sheet shows my brainstorming process for designing a personal logo. I played around with different styles and layouts using my initials like JD, JDN, and JAYDEN LIN to see what felt unique and modern. Some sketches are really simple and minimal for example some looks like simple company names like JDN.Co , while others are more bold and geometric. Going through these ideas made me realize how important it is to test different directions for the best fit for my brand, and now I’m planning to take my favorite ones and make them digitally.
