Cool Stationary



I really like the colors on this stationary. They're vibrant but not too in your face. It also incorporates the squares in the logo, so the whole set is tied together.



These business cards are so cool. They used a stamp to make the logo bleed off the card. It's a cool technique and maybe I can get the same effect in Illustrator. Plus, this design is rustic, which would be fitting for my company.



I also found this super cool envelope that is completely die cut. I'm sure this would cost a mint, but it is possibly the coolest thing ever and love piggies...



The bold colors of this design attracted me. The logo is also incorporated in a cool way.



This is another more rustic look, and by rustic I mean vintage-y. I like how big the logo is on the envelope, maybe I could incorporate that.

Long Logo

I was thinking about the signage for the bakery, and the space to put the logo is really thin. I decided I should create a variation of the logo that would fit the awning over the entrance.

Australian Bakery Logo

I've chosen the logo I want to use for the cafe, now I have started to add color to it. I tried using the aboriginal colors (red, yellow, and black) but the black seemed way too heavy and I couldn't seem to balance it with the yellow and red. So, I've moved on to greenish blue, yellow, and orange for my colors. I think they are a lot more sunny and bright, but I'm a little concerned that they don't feel warm enough for the type of place the Australian Bakery is. I'm also concerned that I'm not using some kind of red, which seems to be prevalent in their storefront and inside. I really like the combination I have now, but maybe I'll experiment a little bit more with using some kind of red.

Anyway, here is what I've decided to use for my logo:



ok...I tried this reversed out with red and yellow:
