Float
(Floaters:
101 )
Description:
Originally for an online dance school, the client dropped the project entirely before typography had been finalized.(probably because the name he'd chosen was so crappy...). Anyway, the initial idea was to combine the idea of traditional art (paint) and make it dance. There were three dancers created - ballet, breakdancer, and interprative (seen here)

ReplyReally, this is absolutely stunning... it's a shame that your client didn't see what was here. This is beautiful and I hope that a client with better taste snaps this up in the future. :) I would frame this and have it on my wall!!! Let me know if you're going to sell prints. %3B-) The 3 would be a very nice series.
ReplyGreat set congratz, a lot of emotional charge here
ReplyWOW!!!! Beautiful!!!
ReplyI've been meaning to comment on these. Great work, Nathan. Very artistic, and very inspiring. These really push the boundaries of what most would consider logo design. It's a shame your client was so lame, but as we all know, some of our best work often goes unused. Regardless, these are great portfolio fodder for sure. You should be very proud of this set. I'm assuming these were created organically and then scanned and vectorized?
ReplyThankya! Quite the process here. Started when i had pencil lead on my fingertip. I'm lazy so instead of washing my hand i wiped it a few times on the nearest piece of paper. Looked over at the paper later on and the markings were in almost the exact shape of this current logo. Stored this in my (little) brain, and then a few years later i'm using this gestural shape for the logo. drew it out with pencil a number of times (all on 8.5x11) til the shape was right. Scan and print a bunch of them. Paint, splatter, smear, etc a bunch of different times. Scan all of em. Combine in photoshop, picking and choosing the best combos. Cheat and add some photoshop brushes. Colorize, vectorize, jazzercise, logosized.
ReplyThat's awesome. Thanks for sharing your process. I love how sometimes great ideas are born from the most innocuous circumstances.
ReplyThe whole set is fantastic, this is my fav!
