I added some new logos to our logo design page. We specialize in vector or 3d logos that really make your business stand out. They can be blown up as large as you like and used for any web, print, television, billboard or other application.

Here’s a 3d logo I did for Caliber Auto Body in Denver, CO:

3D Logo Caliber Collision

I did this in illustrator initially then used the vector image as a template for creating 3d nurbs text and polygonal objects for the purple swoosh. Nurbs are nice for text because it’s easier to get nice smooth curves.

If you’re interested in a 3D logo design contact me. I can redesign your existing logo in 3d or start from scratch.

Here’s the poster and flyer I designed for the UFO United Fighting Organization’s July 24th even in Kennewick, WA

The event is near the Tri City Boat Races in Kennewick, WA and the client wanted to incorporate hydroplane boats into the design as well as MMA fighter images. The challenge was to blend these elements while still making it clear that this is an MMA fight event.

I was recently contracted come up with promotional materials including logo, printed posters, handouts, website, etc. for a new MMA promotion call UFO United Fighting Organization. The UFO plans on holding events around the country at major venues featuring fighters from America and all over the world. These will be televised in the future and promoted through streaming video.

This was an interesting project as I’ve been a fan of Mixed Martial Arts for years, especially the PRIDE organization in Japan. Branding in MMA is quite extensive as it’s a very image conscious market and promotions, apparel companies, supplement manufacturers, energy drinks and others all compete heavily for the MMA consumer’s attention. Thus the challenge is to create a unique brand that people haven’t seen before while keeping it exciting and sophisticated.

Here’s the final logo:

UFO Ultimate Fighting Organization Logo

After doing some concept work in 2d with Illustrator I switched to 3d for an interesting flame effect. The client was interested in a globe for the logo, which is great but this is very overused element so I wanted to give it a new twist. I came up with a burning incendiary atmosphere, solar flares and all surrounding the world.

This was perfect for the client because the logo can be blown up as large as we like for HD video and print (billboards, ring mat stickers) and it can also be animated in the future for television.

Here’s a second, longer version of the abstract rings piece. This is a quick modelling and animation piece done in Maya and compiled in VirtualDub.

I wanted to showcase soft natural lighting using only a single Maya image based lighting node with high res image of a cloudy sky. You can see this in the highlights in the ring objects as well as on the ground plane, aided by global illumination.

The scene was rendered in Mental Ray in about 5 hours and contains 1440 frames. Music is by Chicago Underground Trio.

Here’s a wireframe:
