Cv to Logo?

Screen_shot_2011-08-23_at_00

I have created a new Logo for my brand identity. Its simple but shows everything you need to know, my name which I must admit at first was hard to put into a logo with out shortening. The slightly transparent logo in the background symbolizing my interest in illustration. Then the areas I like to delve into as a designer. The colours are very muted, which doesn't reflect all my work but for this design it would be very easy to change the colour. I have chosen to reflect the shadow of my name, there’s no real meaning to it, I did it purely for the fact I wanted to inject a touch of colour!

This is the example of the CV that I have based my Logo around, using the same font and colours. I like the layout it’s simple, easy to read and gives the reader all the right information in the right order. At first I did play round with the type, tried different and layout but I disliked what I was doing so I decided to stick with I liked and was comfortable with.

This is my alternative CV that I am not quite sure about; I have negative and positive thoughts on it but finding it hard to change. Firstly, I dislike the colour of the whole thing, it’s not me but I have tried it in so many darker/bold colours that don’t seem to look right. Again the text does look quite dull I get a slightly Menu look. The positive is that I like the logo, which supposed to be a scribble with my name hidden inside; this has a meaning to it, as I often use my scribbles for inspiration for drawing. I also like the self-portrait at the bottom of the page, add a personal touch. In conclusion I need to rework this document...
