"Ms. Got Rocks" in fair craft show booth (she's camera-shy, can you tell?). We cut her out of this photo, cleaned up the image cosmetically, did a little photo editing magic with
|
|
other product pictures, and the result is above. Voila :: a Product Logo for Ms. Got Rocks' Angel and Devil Dogs, used on print media and of course, the Internet.

All these logos for Ms. Got Rocks Rings were very popular. Of all of them, the one just below was almost universally chosen for link exchange banners. I think it was because of the sepia toned Marilyn Monroe picture inset.

Original Logo Graphics
Image shown at about 1/3 original size.
Ms. Got Rocks didn't much care to have Marilyn Monroe on her logo (I believe the 's' word that rhymes with 'butt' was used), so we switched to Princess Grace, a legitimate 'Ms. Got Rocks' in her own right. Associative advertising, or, if you are a Princess Grace fan, it would be biased advertising. :)

If you think the above Internet splash page header looks pretty complex, you're right: it contains over 15 internal links and about 25 images, all search engine optimized and complete with rollovers and callouts. High visibility and fast loading time too!

An interesting greeting card provided the background for the live bamboo pictures in this "Lucky Bamboo" logo graphic
|
|
We only had two bamboo plants to photograph and had to make them look like more. This is an okay job of morphing but we can do much better now.

  Scanning small items -- as we did the bracelets used in the Magnetic Wear logo -- works better than photographing them.

|
 I really wanted to get the Max Sydell eyes thing going but dumped that in favor of the 'in joke' of "Needful Things" and Steven King, which we used to death thoughout the web site to build product recognition. I guess it worked, because people would walk up to the "Magnetic Man", and say Oh yeah, you're the guy who likes Steven King and sells magnetic stuff. |
