Logo's Again

So i was google-ing logos, again! and i came across some more really cool ones.  and i also learned about some new tools to use in illustrator.  So below are more logos that i gotta go thorough and decide which one to try :) 

• Spiral
  
• Ok, so this is the really awesome spiral writing that you always see and wonder HOW DID THEY DO THAT.... well at least i always do!  Now i know and its actually not that hard.  I will definitely be using this in some project no matter what.
• DJ Logo
  
• this one seems like fun, and i would definitely use it, it's too bad you have to pay for the template though. maybe i can find something similar and try that!
• "Swirls and Flourishes"
  
• It isn't technically a logo, but the design can be made into one, well in my opinion. It's  a really simple and more a classy logo.  I can imagine this one with the branches on the side, and in the center my name in a nice simple font.
• Font
• I want this font. like now.  This is so awesome. It says its  a logo for a rock band, and i do agree. this does fit a band.  Obviously a majority of the logo's i have posted have something to do with music or and a rock-esque to them :)  i love music and punk/rock designs.
• "Paranoid"
  
• This font reminds me of the font one of my favorite bands, Cobra Starship, uses as their signature font.  It's not exactly the same... they are actually kind of different but  it's the same vibe.  I guess that's why i like it a lot.  I dont really understand how its called 'paranoid ' though...

OK, so i think i have enough logo's and fonts to go through.  Once i sketch something up and actually create it, i'll post something on here!

Logo Tutorials!

So i was researching some tutorials on how to make some awesome logo's... and here are my favorites-

• 3-D
• obviously this one shows you how to make a 3-D logo on illustrator.  Although it kinda seems simple, i thought it was really cool and i cant wait to use this in a project.
• Go Green!
• This one is cute. it does look kind of complicated, but it looks like a fun one to try.  And if i could complete it i'd feel pretttty accomplished..  If i were to use this logo in a project i feel like it'd best be used for an ad.
• Ornate Lettering
• Ok, this reminds me of something i'd see on an album cover for a band.  This seems really awesome, yet really complicated. i will probably download the tutorial and try to use this for my logo project.
• Surfer
• This one is nice because you dont necessarily have to use a picture like this.  The first step is picking your picture, and i'd love to do this maybe with a guitar or something of that nature.   This tutorial has def. been bookmarked.
• Simple Banner
  
• This tutorial finishes simple, but as i went through it... the steps (well to me) seem complicated. haha i would give this one a try, because a simple look is sometimes better depending on the project.
