We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Samadara Ginige about their original and creative Logo design work. Samadara Ginige is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original logo works.
Samadara Ginige ("SG") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Samadara Ginige Personal Identity Logo. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
SG : Idea was to design a logo for a Designer & Developer who have been working in this sector for 10 years. She is a designer who appreciate simplicity and has achieved it in most of her designs.
SG : My focus was to design a logo which is aesthetically appealing while being unique as it was designed for a designer. It needed to be clever as well as clean.
SG : It will be used as my logo/identity and will be the identity for my future design studio.
SG : About 3 weeks.
SG : This design was my own idea and it is not a commission. In my research I found plenty of logos that represent designers and the symbols such as pencil, pen, brush, etc are overused. And I found many versions of sg monogram as well. It was not easy to design an acceptable sg monogram which is professional, elegant, clean and clever.
SG : I intend to use my work myself.
SG : As a designer and a developer who have been working for more than 10 years in graphics/web fields, I felt it is time to get an identity designed for myself.
SG : No, this is my own work.
SG : Start-ups, Small|Medium|Large sized businesses and freelancers who seek logo/corporate identity/graphics/web design and development services.
SG : In my research I found plenty of logos which represent designers and the symbols such as pencil, pen, brush, etc are overused. And I found many versions of sg monogram. So I wanted to design a unique sg monogram which is professional, elegant, clean and clever which will capture the audience for it's simplicity and uniqueness.
SG : sg are the two initials of my name Samadara Ginige.
SG : I used pencil and paper to sketch. Then I scanned my sketches and made the vector version using Adobe Illustrator CS6 and made the presentation using Adobe Photoshop CS6.
SG : It's two letters which are connected, and creating an infinity loop. It represents me as a designer as well as a developer.
SG : I worked alone on this project.
SG : Researching was completely based on internet. I searched how I should present myself uniquely while not using the same symbols and icons which other designers have used to represent themselves. And I referred to many logo/identity galleries and design communities as well.
SG : There are plenty of logos represent designers and the symbols such as pencil, pen, brust, etc are overused. And I found many versions of sg monogram. It was not easy to design an acceptable sg monogram which is professional, elegant, clean and clever.
SG : I received an email from news@design-pr.org regarding this competition. I think it's high time to prove my skills. My work have received many articles/blog features, book includes and galleries features. I think this is the best way to earn the recognition for my work and compliment myself for the hard work I've put through to get to this point.
SG : I had to go through a few revisions to make it pixel perfect.
