Yes, I make logos.
Here are just a few.
Some are just improved on. . .
Graphic Design:
an extensive field
with a deep reach
Preparation of a visual representation of an idea or message,
such as print or broadcast advertisement or direct mail
promotion package, including all aspects of the final
image/package desired, such as illustrations, set typefaces,
colors, paper stock, or arrangement of elements on a page. The
design of any promotion must incorporate the marketing
objectives and strategy, the production capabilities, and the
budget limitations of the advertiser. Graphic design services can
be provided by in-house staffs, advertising agencies, printers and
lettershops, art studios, free-lance artists, and syndicated
artwork services. An in-house staff can be economical if large
quantities of design work are needed but limits the client to the
style and skill of that pool of designers. Printer and lettershop
staffs are usually adept at tailoring graphic designs to a client’s
printing and production capabilities. Art studios offer a diverse
range of talent but at a relatively high cost. Freelancers can
produce very good quality at a more reasonable cost.
