Description I finished this technically on time, but not soon enough to be printed for critique. Hooray for real-life problems getting in the way of school. -.-

This was a logo illustration done for my vector class, done pretty much entirely in Illustrator (with a helping hand from Photoshop to get some of those platters and brush marks cleaned up)

The company is one that I made up, intended to be the much more creative/raw/real version of Hot Topic. Clothing and accesories for art students, rebels, individuals, and other misfits. They would host some private designers/artists, as well as run their own lines of products.

I wanted to work with a unique animal form for the logo, and Painted Dogs (aka, African Wild Dogs) kick ass like nobody's business.

Love the style of this logo. I've been looking for something like this for a while for a company I co-own.
If you're interested in revisiting this piece and possibly selling it as a logo, send me a message and maybe we can work something out.
Either way, nice job on this piece of art.

Very nice I love the paint splatters the most and how the wild dog is turning from paint to a creature. You did its markings really well, they look painted but realistic at the same time. The paint brush effect your gave to words really fit in well and just ties the picture together. This is definatly an original design and when you think of it as a logo for a store its even more original and just plain EPIC. I would so go there if it was real if only to look at the loga xD

They kick ass like EVERYBODY'S business. That's how it should be, anyway.
Interesting and gorgeous rendition. Illustrator confuses the crap out of me, so kudos for making it work so well. It almost looks like it has wings...

Thats some really nice work, looks so neat
I just have to say, most logos have to be able to be put on any colour, smaller as well, and easy to be seen, for real i love it, but i think it looks bad as a logo, since it has to much details to actually become a symbel of a company, its brown wich is hard to paste on any colour.. and im afraid it misses its nifty ness when you make it so small most logos are when you see them =/

For this project, she was looking for the largest most-detailed version of a certain company's 'logo.'
I guess logo isn't really the right word for what we did. It was an illustration class, not a graphic design class, after all.

This was actually one of the more iconic ones in the class, actually, lol.

She was basically looking for an image that could be broken down into separate parts and simplified, when put on stationary and whatnot.

Hunting Dogs are my favourite animal because they are so uniquely patterned. A painters dream I would say, you could just go to town on their sploges and spots. This is a great way of showing a different way of thinking. Playing on the idea that you painted it and yet it -is- called a painted dog, .

It would be an excellent logo and t-shirt design. Its definetly a fav for me. I love it! .

Awesome! What a cool concept - love how the AWD dissolves into paint spatter. I'd so buy clothing from someplace with a sweet logo like that.

Yay....I was hoping you'd see this and comment on it. Can't work on something Wild Dog related and not think of our zoo visit and various games. xD

I couldnt wait to see what you thought.

Various games I haven't been on lately! ::Frowns and shrinks back with embarassment:: Stuff has been so ridiculous lately. Bah. I have managed to eek out a post here and there, and I'm guessing from the lack of response to many of the posts Breeze/Stan are in that they're busy too. Stupid college/life! Clearly, we all need to drop out and start RPing 24/7, because being 100 fake animals is SO much cooler than being one real person. Hahaha.

Lol...I wholeheartedly agree.

The whole month of November is gonna be rough though, because it's NaNoWriMo, and I'm *totally* gonna be part of it.

Hooray for trying to write 50,000 words in a month. o.o

It's not like I would have been able to move at 8am. I'd spent most of the night puking my brains out because of one of those headaches that really tries its damnedest to kill you. -.-
