What I designed today (November, actually) – it’s been a busy year!

Wednesday, January 3, 2018Saturday, August 15, 2020 by Sparkbark | Leave a comment

Most of you know I’m working full time for a “higher cause” this year and haven’t been doing much designing at all but was asked to put together some possibilities for a stake logo for church. Oklahoma City had designed one for their stake — story has it from a reliable source that the stake executive secretary just did it one day and it was quickly adopted — and it’s a great logo. The Bartlesville Oklahoma Stake, however, doesn’t lend itself to easily using an acronym for a logo.  Pitfalls include derogatory connotations of letters similar to BOS, etc. ad nauseum. At any rate, one hasn’t been chosen so maybe they’ll pursue other options but here’s the contenders and a flyer that was created for a stake conference around the same time.  Skills are rusty – it’s amazing what a year off from designing can do for that to happen!  It took me twice as long as it should have to come up with these passable designs…

What I Designed Today: Bartlesville’s Ambler Hall Logo

Tuesday, July 14, 2015Monday, July 13, 2015 by Sparkbark | Leave a comment

Contenders:

Lots of interesting musical things going on here but I didn’t like the femininity of the lyre shape as well as having the logo associated with any single instrument, even though the trumpet is very engaging.

Final Design:

What I Designed Today: “Ticket” Business Cards for Theater Bartlesville

Thursday, September 5, 2013Wednesday, January 21, 2015 by Sparkbark | Leave a comment

As part of my new duties on the Board of Directors for Theater Bartlesville, I was able to create a new logo and update their business cards. I love the new cards because they look like a ticket. Did I need a custom die from the printer for this? Nope. Non-profit = cheap as possible. I ordered $18 business cards, on sale, from Vistaprint (I sprung for their new, premium glossy cardstock option) and with rush shipping (another $10), my grand total was $28 for the cards. I went to my new FAVORITE local printer who was willing to drill the holes in the edges with a standard punch for me — how nice is that?! If you happen to need printing and you live near Bartlesville, go see Shawn Roberts…fantastic printer, quality and pricing.
