I started to work on something a bit different and created graphics that came away from the idea of ships or anchors. I went back onto Pinterest and found some ‘wave’ graphics that caught my attention and that inspired me to create something a little different.
I started creating a graphic using simple shapes that would represent waves and combined my colour scheme and included my font. I want to further develop this idea and come up with more ‘wave’ designs.
I broke down my logo even more. I decided to separate the anchor and the ship element apart from each other and develop this on their own. I still feel like my ideas are too complex for a logo, so I decided to try and simplify it a bit more by deleting some lines from the ship and using simple shapes.
I took the logo breakdown I did and choose my favourite. It was between the floral design and the watercolour design. Even though I was going with the watercolour design initially I have decided to go for the floral design instead as I feel it is more striking and would work better when its shrunk down and enlarged.
I still felt like there was a lot of work that needed doing to my logo so I decided to break the logo down and work on bits of it individually. I needed to work on the bottom part of the anchor as it wasn’t portraying what I wanted very well. I decided to expand this shape further with different widths and curves in different places. I also decreased the amount of lines I had in the ‘ship’ part of my logo and I also experimented with another line effect I found which added a ‘flower’ decorative approach to the ship, this effect makes it look closer to the tattoo context which I do like and it definitely competes with my original idea of the watercolour effect.
