Before I design characters, I start the old fashioned method, paper and pencil. This design was no different. I sketched an eagle with a surf theme since the business is located in Cocoa Beach, FL. After the sketch, I scan the images into the computer to do the digital coloring and linework.
For the Eagles Nest, I created a few versions of their logo for them to choose from. I went with a badge style logo in case they wanted to put the logo on packaging that they may give out to their customers as well as for shirt designs.
After we were done with their logo, the Eagles Nest wanted to incorporate the eagle into their signage so we created a menu holder for the front of the restaurant.
One thing the Eagles Nest is known for is as a place to get great wings. They have a special wing sauce called the Feather Ruffler that they wanted to start marketing. This is the design that we came up with.
