I like simplicity, and that’s what this is all about. The first image is a little bit of signage, and below is the final Logo design, on the second page is the stationery set, with all the trimmings.
Here’s several Variations, and it shows development through the design. The first 3 are front cover designs, the following are back cover designs.
