Deino (Apr 20, 2006)

This is a design for a logo my aunt asked me for her company/job/Ireallydon'tknow. But hopefuly it will be rejected and I can use it as an ID for Deviant Art xD xD

Anyway, my aunt told me that the theme was evolution, I tried diferent designs: birds, humans, lizards... birds/humans/lizards. But, at the end I followed an old idea I had when I was little: Ammonites (and their modern descendants, the nautilius) represent for me the pass of time. Their spiral and gorgeous designs not only show age, but functionality, a design that had to envolve to reach that state. No, it's not perfect (nothing is perfect) but at least it has worked for the last 260 millions years! xD So, Nautilius = symbol of evolution. And by the way, they are extremely beautiful.

I'm sorry if what I wrote is nonsense, I'm still not confident when writing in english.

Wonderful Deino, the nautilus is a beautiful creature and amazing to believe it's lasted so many millions of years with hardly any change. Whether your aunt uses it or you, it's lovely.

Beautiful and a wonderful idea Deino. Btw..your English is excellent

Opium (Apr 21, 2006)

yes, your english is wonderful! And so is this picture :) I have a TON of Mexican neighbors (I'm talking 15 apartment buildings and maybe 5 out of 60 apartments aren't Mexican) and maybe you should come over and teach them some english! So far all I've ever heard them say is "Hey chica! You lookin' hot! Hey chica, come party with us! Hey chica, come into our casa for un momento" hehe or just teach them some manners if not english! And by the way, this picture is wonderful too! You made it really truly look like a translucent shell. Beautiful! I think you're one of my favorite artists! :D

Got rid of those inicials D:

Thanks Dave and Opium! x)

Sweetcell (Apr 21, 2006)

It seems empty now Deino since you took off the letters. Together they complimented the piece. May I suggest putting your own initials in, then it will be truly yours.

Deino (Apr 21, 2006)

Thanks Sweecell. I may do what you suggest, althought maybe not my inicials but "Deino" :)

This is just stunning. I do some graphic art for pay and would like to make a suggestion. Resize the name smaller so that it kind of lies "inside" the white space instead of extending into the shell. The shell is very gorgeous and also "busy", so you dont really want to add more lines to that area. I love the lettering style and i love the grey tones you picked. :)
