Logo design. Initial Ideas and development...

These initial ideas and sketches were produced using different thicknesses of black pens from fine liners to chunky permanent markers. I really enjoyed the development of these logos and saw a lot of development in my own drawing skills.










These original sketches of logos above were inspired by and The lyrics "Dropping bombs". These lyrics inspired me to create my logo for the Boombox. It refers to rappers practicing the spoken form of Hip Hop."Dropping Bombs" means reciting lyrics.


I really like this logo i feel it represents the boom box well. It came from the idea of someone blowing the boombox up by using explosives (you can see the development of this idea within these initial sketched ideas).






I scanned the original sketch in and placed it in Photoshop.

 Once in Photoshop I made the image black and white and 
changed the levels and threshold to prepare it for Illustrator.

Whilst in Illustrator I transformed the logo into a vector image using live trace.
I cleaned the logo up using the pen tool. 

Above is the final logo.
