Be kind design's logo

// // Leave a Comment
During foundation year I tried different printing techniques: solar plate, wood cut, lino cut and screen printing. I was really fascinated by all of them, but I never fully understood the real potential behind each of them. After more than a year since the last time I even got close to the printing studio, I decided to give screen printing another try. I wanted a logo with a hand made look to it, so I decided to try something different from photoshop. I also recently watched a very cool documentary about Helvetica (the title is Helvetica), so I thought of trying to make my own font. I wanted it to be a mix between "kind" and "design" so I mixed straight lines and organic lines. It turned out a little bit "arabic" like my friend said, but I am ok with it after all. I designed it with illustrator first, and then I tried different colour combinations.



I know I could have probably achieved something really close to the final design if I made it with just photoshop and illustrator, but I really wanted to try something different. So I brought the design to the printing studio and printed it on different kinds of paper.



I always get something wrong, so that's why there is some noise on top of it, but I left it there because I kind of like it. Then I scanned it and played with it a little on photoshop.

didn't like this one

and this was the final! Im ok with it, but I would like to screen print again and figure out how to do it right. Next thing I would like to try again is woodcut.
