The Story Behind the Logo
I'm excited to be linking up with Art with Jenny K. today. She posed a great question...
What's the story behind your logo?
I love learning more about teacher-authors on TpT and I'm nuts about graphic design, so I'm even more excited to read others' stories about their logos. I wish that I had a super cool story about the design of my logo to share, but alas, it's just a classic tale of trial and error.
It began with the decision to name my TpT store Brain Waves Instruction. I had a few other ideas like Flourish Files and Teacher's Pet, but I finally settled on Brain Waves Instruction because I liked the idea of my resources activating brains in other teachers' classrooms.
Next, I tried to design a logo that looked like some actual brain waves. It looked like this.
I liked it, but I didn't love it. So, I tried these guys...
None of them worked.
That's when I paired it WAY back and created a single, simple wave.
Since creating the logo, I've had fun changing the wave colors to coordinate with different products and seasons - like an orange logo on a Halloween resource.
Like I said wrote, the logo design process was truly just trial and error. A year after I created it, I'm still happy with it. Maybe the moral here is that simpler is better.
Off to read about all the other TpT logo inceptions!
