This morn­ing my dad and I sat around play­ing with some new ideas for his busi­ness cards and over­all brand. You can see his old logo on his site. The redesign and rebrand­ing stems from want­ing to be clearer about what he does as a busi­ness while at the same time sim­pli­fy­ing his office setup. Instead of hav­ing a land­line phone num­ber and mobile num­ber, he’s just going to have one. Instead of pay­ing for a fax line, he’s going to do more email invoices and elec­tronic faxes. It’s smart and more effi­cient, but that wasn’t the point of this blog.

I just felt like post­ing a few of the ideas I had to redesign his logo and busi­ness card. It’s very min­i­mal, not a lot of color (still cheap­est to print black and white), and it was meant to trans­fer between busi­ness cards, invoice head­ings, yard signs, and print adver­tise­ments. Keep in mind I have no train­ing what­so­ever in graphic design or print design. Here goes:

Ver­ti­cal version

Based off Pages Invoice template

Tra­di­tional and Minimal

None of these are final­ized. They were just ideas we were throw­ing around. I know some peo­ple find it inter­est­ing to get a sneak peek into design processes. If we totally rebrand I’ll be sure to make the announce­ment here first!
