Final Logo


Here is the final version of our logo. Obviously a variation of it is on the website (white letters as opposed to black). We're pretty happy with how it has turned out.

I feel like the logo is clean, versatile, legible, unique, and that it relays of sense of movement and change. The sparks/swirls are a bit abstract, but the brand was designed to be functional without them if needed.

New Company, New Logo



At the time of writing this post, this blog still has the generic white template applied. This is because we are a brand new company and we have yet to create a logo that fits our needs.

We have a couple ideas that we are still hammering out (HA!). Let us know what you think.

Media Blacksmith offers graphic design, branding, and web design and development services.

I created a metal grate type of texture for the background and the Media Blacksmith colors come from a images of heated metal.


This logo has a carbon fiber texture for the background and a bit of a shine added to it.

This is similar to the one above, but I added an anvil icon in a gun metal gray. I am not too fond of it.

My wife, realizing that I did not really like the way the logo was going created the next two from stock photos to try to get our creative juices flowing in another direction



They are great images, but it is hard for me to imagine/use them as logos in diverse ways.

I have a few more ideas coming. I was thinking to move a bit towards engineering and a Steampunk theme. My wife was creating an proof of a wrought iron style swirl.

Needless to say none of these are final, but I want to show the creative process of creating a great brand and logo
