2009 has been an interesting year for me already. In the first two months of this year, I managed to design three new logos that will be used for awards in two different publications at work. The first of which are these two logos for the first and second place awards in the Community Review's Community Choice Awards.
For anyone who doesn't know about the Community Review, it's a bi-weekly newspaper that I design every other week along with my other duties at the magazine. It's the newspaper for the local Jewish community in the Harrisburg and surrounding areas. I've been designing the paper for the Jewish Community Center for the last 5 or 6 years now.
Near the end of last year, the Editor of the paper, Sally Jo, decided she'd like to try her hand at a Simply the Best sort of award for businesses around the area that the community supports. We both kicked around vague ideas of how to make the logo work and stand apart. Both of the GOLD and SILVER logos are what I came up with, using Sally Jo's input.
I'm actually proud of these logos, if for nothing more than the fact that they're the first logos I've really designed to be used in the manner of being an award. Come to think of it, I didn't really design too many logos in my time at the magazine. I always felt that was one of my weaknesses as a designer, but it's cool to see that I'm not shying away from a challenge lately.
