Sulo Native Lampshades

This one I made for my brother for his graduation requirements. One of his school requirements is to create corporate identity collaterals for his made up company. His company Sulo manufactures and sells native lampshades made of found woods and canvas. The lampshade is actually produce by Eyo a church worker in Paombong Bulacan. I'm not sure if he got a high grade for this project nonetheless he graduated last October 2006.

Sound Stage

I was commissioned to create a new logo for Soundstage, a music bar in Antipolo. Designing a new logo that will replace the existing one is a different challenge. The old logo was given heavy consideration for the project as a reference point for the client wanted to upgrade the image of the music bar since they have been in the business since the early 90s. The pressure to make it better than the old one is there but since the client is very hands on in the designing process we were able to give what they wanted. For a couple of weeks Ms. Kathy will visit the office all the way from Rizal to Angeles to personally check the design and make necessary revisions. They chose the first study on the left. They wanted to put an electric guitar in the logo to give it a modern feel.

Cookieland

This is my first international work done in 2005. This is for a company base in Malaysia with Filipino partners; a cookie kiosk to be put in a large mall in Malaysia. The mascot in this logo is designed by Neil a new artist during that time, who is an excellent illustrator. He did a lot of illustration for this project including the map of the Cookieland which we use as placemats and paper bag. The client like the eyes of the mascot very much that he wanted the eyes to be in almost all of the collaterals. We first find the mascot to be very reminiscent of the M&M characters though but it works!

Centro Fidei School

I came up with 4 studies for this account; a newly opened private school in Angeles City.

The approved logo design is the one on the top. Fidei is latin word meaning faith. The logo is a shape of a shield representing faith and over it are silhouettes of children to stress the learners centered of the institution.

Serenity Health Spa

Another Logo design during my rookie year in advertising. This is for a spa in Balanga Bataan. I'm handling 2 accounts from this area and coincidentally from rival companies. I'm just glad they never got to be at the office for presentation at the same time.

The client chose the green one on the right. A good choice I think since I find the other three looks more for a sanitary napkin or a female wash than for a spa.

Peking Tea House

Will I blog or multipy?

I wanted to create an on-line portfolio for my design works, whether to do it as a blog or a mulitply is something I really have to think about but obviosly I finally came to a decision. I chose to do it the blog way to share not only my artworks but to share stories behind them; something that might interest those who will see my works.

On top is my first professional corporate identity work. It is for a chinese restaurant in Angeles City in Pampanga. Being new in the advertising agency, I'm really not sure yet of how things are done. For this one I made 17 studies to the surprise of our boss who also serves as creative director who expects only 3 studies. Thats not flattering though considering that can be a waste of time but a good practice though. Up to now I still consider this as one of the best logo designs I ever did.
