hunielogo_1

Logo design for Hunie.co, a new design community focused on bringing startups and designers together for mutual benefit. The logo spawned from a few symbolic ideas: the windup key representing startups, the pencil representing designers/creatives, and both are extremely busy bees (especially together).

Featured in Communication Arts Design Annual 53, 2012.

Logo for a secluded home doubling as a late-night thinktank.

No girls allowed. Well, maybe girls allowed.

A collection of logos and icons that were not used for the finalized projects, but which I still feel are enjoyable and well-crafted in some respect.

All icons and logos remain property of Ryan Ford or their respective owners.

looksy1

Identity development & exploration for a social shopping concept.

Looksy promises to be a celebrity-driven shopping experience that let’s you “dress like a celebrity without spending like one.” That was my line. Pretty happy with it. Anyway, these are some presentation images and accompanying developments and explorations when working on this identity project.

 

stockproject1

A simple and memorable logo to brand a groundbreaking relationship.

When the world’s biggest creative website and one of the world’s largest stock houses come together, sparks will fly. To represent the new relationship between deviantART and Fotolia, I created this logo, helping to brand spaces of deviantART and Fotolia where the two websites converge.

The iconography behind the logo represents, in a very literal way, what stock photography is all about: finding photos. Hence, the magnifying glass and the camera get mixed together in a simple but bold fashion.

The last slide displays a couple of alternate options I produced.
