1. Mark Weaver — mrkwvr.com
Mark Weaver’s personal branding is essentially what influenced my own logo. Obviously he’s played with the similar letters M and W - symmetrical qualities where both letters have the same dimensions and measurements when reflected. The wide serif typeface he’s used is clearly retro and 1970’s inspired, of which his work shows influence by. This works great and really does actually reflect his style in a very simple way.
2. Tim Boelaars — timboelaars.nl
This logo for graphic designer and illustrator Tim Boelaars defines 'quirky'. The typeface is retro and fun and the bold italic script works well in white. The use of the underline also works great. For some reason I'm reminded of the old 'The End' typography in old b&w films through the typeface.
3. Jon Contino — joncontino.com
Jon Contino's style is incredibly distinctive. His work is inspired by old-school New York- all-things nautical; sailors and anchors, whiskey bottles.. essentially nostalgic classic America. this is reflected through his logo with the use of the imagery of a hand-drawn baseball. The illustration is quirky and the composition of the typography in his distinctive style is very effective. The logo definitely reflects his style.
4. Patrick Moore — patricksmoore.com
Loving this hand-rendered logo by Patrick Moore, a graphic designer / artist that I've just recently discovered. The logo is personal and inviting with his name written by hand in two different styles of type. The slight distressing is an even nicer touch.
5. Oliver Barrett — oliverbarrettdesign.com
Finally, I enjoy the simplicity of this logo from illustrator & designer Oliver Barrett. The initial letter B within a distorted circular shape which may or may not represent the letter O is simple but effective. The typeface used is quite bold and wide and, like my logo, is the same line thickness as the lines in the geometric shape.
