Presenting the new Corrie Haffly logo! Moo!

It’s been over a month since I generated my last round of logo ideas (see part 1, part 2, part 3). Other projects and responsibilities have intruded since then, but a link to a VistaPrint business card sale that ends this Tuesday helped to whip me into gear.
I decided to start with my top three [...]

Even more logo ideas

Sketches
My third session (part 1, part 2) at generating logo sketches resulted in these:

More logo ideas

The Tuesdays when I go out to my harp lesson and then hang out in a coffee shop (waiting for my husband to get off work so we can drive home together) seem to be turning into a personal development day where I do a tiny bit of offline work but then do lots of [...]

Back to branding…

Branding roadblock

I have been tagged as “creative” by various friends, acquaintances, and colleagues, which surprised me because I don’t think of myself as creative — or, at least, it wouldn’t make it into my “top three adjectives I use to describe myself.” This brought several questions to my mind:

When do I feel creative?
How do I define [...]

Trying to brand myself. Moo.

As I’ve mentioned already in my first post, being brand-less was one of the big things keeping me from starting a public blog. But, my approach to life is sometimes to jump into the middle and then work outwards, so one of my new personal projects is to develop a brand, design a logo for myself, and redesign my web site, after already having started a new blog. I think it will be a longer process than I want it to be, but it should be rewarding.
