About
5 years ago I had an idea to make something like a logo design marathon. Why a logo design marathon? Because logo development is like a long distance race which you have to successfully complete within a certain timeframe.
Now that I have more time and creative energy to create stuff on a daily basis, I thought it’s finally time to bring this idea into reality. Each day I will be posting one logo with a generic (not real) company name (you can also suggest names too in comments section or any social network). Each process will include research, sketches and final design (best idea based on personal judgment).
I hope you are as excited as I am. This marathon is about showcasing creativity, trends and a sense for what a future clients might want and need in terms of design. This logo designproject is purely for fun. Anyone can join in.

Day 1 – Oneway
Concept description: Opened door creates hidden number 1 (one). Door symbolize word "way".
Day 2 - Guitarist
Second day of my Logo Design Marathon. We all love music. For designers I think it’s a part of creative process. When I work music always playing in the background. Today in the morning I decided to find something on Spotify that will inspire me. And stumbled upon artist called Carlos Santana. This was a starting point for my new logo design. I decided to pick a name “Guitarist”.
Concept description: Guitar and music note. Music note is hidden in the soundhole.
Day 3 - Mintpartners
Today I decided to play with name MintPartners. When I started I thought word “mint” is always associated with something fresh. I tried to combine this word with “Partners” to get a strong corporate or business feel to it. It is good name for creative agency or company which always has fresh ideas for their clients.
Day 4 - HouseHelp
Concept description: The shape of residential house is horizontally reflected. This effect creates a unique shape. Doors are creating a ‘red cross’ shape which symbolizes the word “Help”.
Day 5 - ComplexDeal

Day 6 - HexaTalk
