Building company logos

A few logos I have been looking it for some ideas for one of the branding briefs I am doing. They're not the most attractive of logos but I suppose it is the kind of aesthetic that is required by that sort of business...there's a few crafty ideas in there, some of them are pretty bad though.

a few bits and pieces.

A few bits and pieces I have come across relating to my Exhibit A brief. Demonstrates quite a definite aesthetic style between your normal text/image kind of logo and something that full on represents the nature of the magazine. It might be nice to look into alternative ways of conveying these ideas, something a little more experimental and unusual, not so much in a graphic design sense, but I don't know something a little more abstract and arty maybe.

magazine inspiration.

A few bits and pieces me and Eddie have been looking at. I tried to steer away from overly-designed pieces but a few have slipped in there; the main issue with this is that the only fishermen to buy a magazine that looks too designed would be the ones who also do graphic design. It's hard to find magazines that truly strike a balance between simply serving a purpose and looking extremely well designed.

Aesthetic research - fishing logos

Various fishing-related logos, just to get an idea of the kind of aesthetic systems used within this particular field. A lot of them retain quite an 'un-designed' kind of style; whether this is intentional or not I am not sure, perhaps it is more effective than a visual identity that has been carefully considered and thought out.
