Logo Design for Houston, TX Area Photographer/Photography Company

Posted on April 9, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a new logo for Shabby Jack Photography, a Houston area photography company located in Spring, Texas. The owner, Tracy Hopkins, initially used a logo design “contest website” for her first couple of logos but was never really satisfied with either of the final logos she received, so she finally came to Visual Lure. We ask Tracy to provide us with a couple of logos she liked so we could get an idea of her style and aesthetic.ย  She provide us with the following logo designs:

The above logos are for reference only and are the property of their respective owners.

 

Once we had an idea of what Tracy liked, and what she was looking for, we came up with the following logo design options (see below).ย  Below, you will also see her last “contest” logo and the final two logos that we designed (at the very bottom).

Family Crest/Coat of Arms for the Broyles, a St. Louis Metro East Family

Posted on February 5, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a custom family crest/coat of arms for the Broyles, a St. Louis Metro East family. Using design elements taken from both sides of his family crests, plus adding new elements, we combined them to create a new custom coat of arms. Our client wanted the new crest to look centuries old, so we drew the entire crest by hand and kept that feel when we converted it into digital artwork.

Here is the initial sketch our client provided us:

Logo Design for St. Louis Recycling Company

Posted on January 25, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to redesign a logo for St. Louis Recycling, a St. Louis recycling company that offers single stream recycling. Single stream recycling refers to the system in which all paper, cardboard and plastic containers are mixed together in a collection truck, instead of having to be sorted into separate commodities by the business and handled separately throughout the collection process. This makes it easier, and more convenient, for companies to recycle.

We design a large amount of logos for companies in St. Louis, and we usually cringe when one of them request us to use the St. Louis Gateway Arch in the logo design. Why? Because the Arch tends to be overused in St. Louis logos, but sometimes it just makes sense, and this is one of those cases.ย  The new logo features the St. Louis arch integrated into the universal symbol for recycling. A clever, simple and memorable logo.

Logo Design/Branding for St. Louis Area Roofing Company

Posted on November 27, 2012

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a new logo and provide branding services for Performance Roofing, Inc., a locally owned and operated, St. Louis, MO roofing company that has been in business since 1976. They are a full service roofing company serving both residential and commercial properties in St. Louis, MO and the St. Louis Metro East, Illinois.ย  Below are our initial two logo designs along with a sample business card and truck decal layout. The first logo contains a red “P” for Performance and an overlapping roof line when combined with the red “P” creates the letter “R” for roofing.ย  The second logo creates both the letters “P” and “R” also and are placed on top of a shield.ย  The shield represents strength and protection, the two most important aspects of a quality roof.
