These are two logos I completed for a client who is a DJ. If you love yourself some great spins, check out his Fan Page on Facebook here:

My process for logos is to work out some ideas through thumbnails. Then I choose the best one out of like 10 ideas, and sketch that out. Once I do that, I redraw it over a lightbox and make it as good and clean as possible. Then I ink that. I scan in the inks then clean that up in Photoshop. Finally I bring that into Illustrator and change it into a vector drawing. That gives it all the points I need. I zoom in and really clean it up. That takes a long time, making all the lines perfectly straight, and all the curves flawless.
I like doing logos, but they are NOT as easy as they look. Even though a logo's final image may look very simple, the process to get it that way is usually pretty tedious in Illustrator.
For the Drunken Monkey logo, that was a little more fun to do. I was given this reference:

Then I just sketched some ideas, and went with a classic super-hero type pose, drinking his beer and ready to pounce. That one was a lot of fun to do. I really LOVE the beer bubbles in the DMC letters, whhich was Brad's idea. REALLY happy with how that came out, and very cool looking.
Client was really happy with both of them, so that's what matters, and that freelance gig was a wrap! Thanks for the work, Brad!
Talk soon everyone, next post should be a popular one, and one I'm REALLY proud of and happy about!
