Concepts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The logo concepts I&#8217;ve chosen to polish all represent different parts of myself that I feel have well emanated my person. With the first logo, it takes my initials to create an icon that is reminiscent of a character of my Chinese name, showcasing the collaboration I have between my nationality and ethnicity. It gives a soothing look through neat hand-drawn lines which I feel well represents my design. The second concept uses a version of my initial, ELIN, as the base. Since the letters are made of straight lines, it already refers to the usual geometric style that I enjoy playing with. This concept has been split into two versions, one with a box that emphasizes the geometric-ness while the other relies more on the overall shape of the letters to create a &#8220;box&#8221;. The third concept then uses an abstract shape loosely using my initials to display the quirky fun-loving side of my personality, able to be used as a pattern that is versatile and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-branding as I&#8217;ve found is a very complicated and difficult process. It&#8217;s difficult to sum up an entire person into one logo and more often than not, I find myself having to sacrifice or neglect parts of myself that don&#8217;t make it into the logo. It really directs you on thinking about what qualities you want to prioritize and let other people know and is a pretty thorough self-reflection of yourself, I find. Sketching out hundreds of logo ideas was great in terms of trying to cover as many bases of yourself, but I also found that it makes me feel very confused in terms of who I am as if there are dissected parts of myself on the page and I&#8217;m forced to choose just one. Overall, it was a great experience and I can definitely see myself continuing to improve upon my final logo (no matter which one I choose) as I continue to navigate through life and discover new parts of myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Logo Concepts The logo concepts I&#8217;ve chosen to polish all represent different parts of myself that I feel have well emanated my person.
