Animal Logos - Sloth

Knowing that the logo would be overwhelmed by many overlapping shapes, I was up for the challenge having gained confidence from designing the peacock logo. 

Firstly I figured out how to design the body and from there I moved onto the complex part of the design which was the face. I wouldn’t say it was difficult but like I said at the beginning, the overlapping shapes can be a bit too much. 

Initially the sloth’s eyes were open and it also had a very simple smiling mouth. The eyes looked kind of scary so tried to see what they would looked like closed, and in fact they looked a lot more friendlier and peaceful. Since the sloth is sleeping I got rid of the smiling mouth, and it made it look even calmer.

With the angled tree branch the opportunity arose to add some text. A lot of thought and sleepless nights went into deciding what to write. The text version I could see as being the logo of a clothing brand or a coffee shop, either way I love this logo.

Animal Logos - Monkey

On one of the days I was in the mood to design a simple logo. 

I had seen many animal logos on Pinterest where the designer created the logo using simple geometric shapes and a great reference picture. 

This was the first one I created as I like monkeys but there’s a funny story that always comes to mind. During a zoo trip with my secondary school, one of the kids decided to spit at a monkey (idiot kid), guess what the monkey did? It spat back! We were all in stitches and couldn’t stop laughing. So ever since I have admired monkeys for being able to stick up for themselves but in a hilarious manner.

Back to the logo, I kept it simple as possible and have included a construction picture of how it was created so hopefully anyone reading this post can understand it and possibly have a go at designing one. There’s also a text version as I wanted to try it out. The flow of the text with the shape of the logo was great and it could equally work under the logo too. 

As I was happy with the outcome I decided to create a series of these simple animal logos but wanted to get suggestions for which animals to base the designs on. I created a story post on my Instagram account asking people and the next posts will reveal which animals I chose.

Animal Logos - Giraffe 

With this logo it was initially tricky to figure out how to make the nose / mouth area look simple by using basic shapes.

Once I saw that the overall shape of the logo would be in the form of a triangle everything started to fall into place. Using this shape I created two main aspects of the design, the nose / mouth area and the ears.

This design was more about deciding which sections of the giraffe’s face to eliminate in order to still make it recognisable.
