After research and brainstorming, I created thumbnail logos using pencil and paper. From there, I took the strongest sketches and created first draft Adobe Illustrator roughs to collect into a client presentation PDF. Since our voice meeting opportunities were limited, I provided descriptions and potential directions for refinement.

The client chose his favorite concepts and provided feedback via Asana. With deepened insights from the client and into the game, I presented updates to his four choices; continuing to experiment within the chosen themes to keep with the spirit of the project.

Success!
A final QA review was done, and very minor adjustments were made to make sure every character and element were properly distributed and aligned. A variation of the logo with white text was made to work on dark backgrounds, RGB / CMYK colors were denoted as part of branding delivery, and an animation was created highlighting potential usage.
