Logos:
To learn about our logo design philosophy, go to our Logo Tips page. Below are a few examples of our logo work. Click on a logo for a larger view.

When Quill & Mouse Studios purchased its largest client, one of the first actions was to redesign the logo to make it stronger and more modern. The registration mark in place of the “o” in the name communicates the word “precision” and illustrates the “printing” aspect of the company.

Red Sage Publishing is a publisher of women’s sensual fiction. They wanted a logo that was both feminine and elegant; and could also fit on a book spine. We created a simple monogram using the classic Vivante typeface, and set in a deep red.

This client was combining several different automotive shops under a single identity. They wanted something using the colors red, white and blue, and with a modern look with a feel for old fashion service.

This lawyer wanted a logo that communicated strength, stability, tradition and trustworthiness. We used a classic column with a protective “roof” over the name.

This automotive shop wanted a logo to play off their name, hence the stylized mountain shapes in the background.

This company provides more than just transportation to senior citizens. They also stay with the client on errands and even take them on fun excursions. Their logo needed to appeal to that age group, while communicating the idea of “fun” as well as “transportation.”

The “sunset on the water” gradation in this users group’s logo illustrates their regional location, along the Gulf coast of Florida. The group’s mascot, Sylvester (below) was very popular with the members, but they needed something more conservative when dealing with vendors and business professionals.

A software development firm, the company needed a logo that communicated the idea of a “rim star” while having a futuristic and clean look.

A producer of costumes and accessories for those involved in medieval re-enactment groups, this company wanted a period-style logo.

A financial planning firm, they wanted a logo in the color of money and that communicated the idea of growing wealth.

This lawyer was considering several ideas. This example uses a classic monogram.

This veterinary practice logo is an example of representing a company name and service/product with the logo image. It appropriately fits with the practice name.

Each Christmas, this client likes to do something special for their newsletter. For this issue, they wanted their photos superimposed on ornaments hanging on a tree. As they only wanted spot color printing (versus four color process), we had to create the artwork ourselves. The client was very pleased with the result and this has remained their favorite issue.

Red Sage Publishing is one of our original clients. The covers of their first three volumes used a simple smoke-like design and were printed in a single color. With Secrets Volume 4, the client wanted a more elegant cover design. They wanted something that would be feminine, romantic, and work with only two ink colors. We chose a rosebud trailing off the bottom of the page. On top of the red and black ink colors, this volume was the first to feature gold foil on the book’s title.

By volume 6, Red Sage Publishing had switched to four color process for their covers. Using sumptious red fabric to mimic rumpled bed linens, this new cover was a big hit. As before, the Secrets was done in gold foil. With this volume, we returned to listing the authors on the front cover as well.

SLUG’s mascot, Sylvester, served as their original logo. The Linux community enjoys a unique sense of humor that Sylvester plays on — the Windows salt shaker is trying to get him, but his super powers prevent his destruction.
