Logo Design Project

Let me start out by explaining the project before going into the pictures below. The project was to create a logo either for yourself or a business that you plan on having. My ultimate goal in graphic design is to be a magazine editor/owner. So I chose to make a logo for the magazine title I've been playing around with, "The Dark Side". Here is what I came up with after hours of sketching.

The above picture was a very rough sketch of my concept. The lines in the middle are my initials in Elvish, and together they form an ear. Because I have a very unique earring, I chose to incorporate the earring into my logo. My  professor is Indian and did not understand it at all. He assumed it was some made up language and demanded research on it. After complying to this demand and a few more sketches, I moved on to the picture below.

My professor still did not understand the idea at all but allowed me to continue with it under the impression that it could become a logo seal. The picture above shows the final design. It was approved and I was quite pleased with it. Although, it did take about 7 hours to fight for my design.

Please tell me what you think by leaving a comment.
