I got a little carried away today creating an image for Creemore's BIA (Business Improvement Association) It's for the well being of our business community, so it was for a good cause.
Still I'm a bit leery of donating my services towards community causes - it's been my experience that no good deed goes unpunished.
Our charming village always reminds me of a snow globe in the winter, so it was a natural choice. The image of Creemore inside the ball was inspired by our village logo created by John Wiggins.
That's so true about donating design - usually ends badly! I recently was approached by the local committee for starting a new Harvest festival - they needed a logo. When I said yes, the lady explained what they were after:
ReplyDelete"We want a circle shape with 2 hills, one with ploughed feilds, one with rows of trees, and a sunset in between, and a blue sky with clouds and then a wave below, with fish swimming in it, preferably with smiling faces, and that is to be sitting inside an oyster shell, which is to be on it's side, as if it's the pearl from the oyster". When I asked about the actual wording "oh no - we'll just use the logo without any words". Well that's going to work great on a banner when you're whizzing past at 100km/hr. Not to mention the name they came up with for the festival: "Sapphire Coast Oyster & Harvest Festival"
Marketing nightmare
After an initial go of trying to get it together, I turned them down.
sooooo lovin' the snow globes - very nice work Shane
