Logo Design

Source: www.wolda.org
This logo caught my attention because I really like the idea of logos not actually having the client's name on the logo anywhere. What makes a good logo is that people can easily identify it without any text. This specific logo was designed for Ventura Cafe. The designer was very creative with making the letter V (for Ventura) into what looks like a cup.

Packaging Design

I really liked the use of a different texture on this design. The silver stripes on the packaging gives a good contrast against the plain white boxes. As well as the contrasting boxes that are all silver.

Typography

This image is a design for wrapping paper. There are a lot of designs that incorporate this overlapping of typography, but I thought it was interesting to use it for wrapping paper. I think the colors are great, as well as the combination of overlapped colors.
