New Logo

Since changing the name of my business to Pixel Patterns, I have been working away on a new logo.
I started drawing designs on note paper as you can see below

After multiple different ideas that were wiped off, this one stuck and started to take place the more I drew it. Here are the white board scribbles of its first appearance

Starting as a simple swooping P, I found myself adding extra details such as the X instead of the dot on the I and pixels at the bottom of the P. The more I drew this piece the more that came up, the final drawing before moving to the computer was to have the first P as a needle and tread swooping round and looping through the eye and the second P to have pixels dropping off the bottom of the stalk. 

From this I headed straight to the computer and started to recreate this logo. Picking a font to go with the large swooping P's was tricky and I wanted it to look somewhat similar to what I had drawn in the sense that the letters are tall, reasonably thin and well spaced. After a while of searching I found a font called Tall Films, using the fine version of this font I feel that I managed to keep all of the aspects I wanted from my whiteboard drawings. 

Here is the final logo and its smaller icon version which I will use as a favicon and possibly much more.

To make sure that I dont run into the same predictable issue, I have used the needle on pixel and the pixels on pattern, this not only keeps away from them being too predictable, but also represents how I am bringing the two together to combine them in my work.
