The photos  below show my thought process for figuring out my Identity System.  I started out with 30 sketches which I narrowed down to three as shown in the bottom photo. From there I looked for a color scheme I waited for my I.D. which varied from purple, blue and finally settled on a green.

 

Next I refined a million times by logo which was my initals B.S., the B was the book shown open on its back while the S was a flower blooming out of the book. I settled with design for about two weeks before adding the leaves itself to the i's of my name, and then realized that I now longer needed the my metaphoric initials and could just use my name with the two leaves .

 

The leaves were supposed to symoblize growth and change , but also new beginings since its attached the to tittle showing that it's a bud. The top is the final outcome which took me almost 4 months of thinking and changing to achieve.  Then I realized that the leaf inself which i was putting so much emphasis on was a logo itself. which led my to what you see at the top.
