I was asked by my good friend and amazing Austin TX photographer Patrick Meredith abut some ideas for a smallish logo design to use for god knows what (Patrick has his irons in 80 different fires at all times, that’s one of my favorite things about him). So I began working on some things he might fance. He was looking for something really simple and straightforward with little to no graphic element to it. So these are what I shot his way.

Designs for Patrick Meredith

I’ve been immersing myself in the whole minimalist aesthetic for a while now thanks to Mr. Stephen Wasson, a great designer and an amazing photographer in his own right. I can usually be caught surfing the MOCO LOCO website at least once a day checking out the architecture and design centric furniture and such they have such an affinity for posting. I also recommend Jim Krause’s Color and Type indexes for those of you who are color blind like me and Stephen or would like to see some examples of others’ use of text and color. For those of you who are much too advanced for books like those, you should check this out: here
