Daffodil, star baby, or deformed blob?

So, I’ve been working on a logo for a client for a while now. It’s pretty much don now, so here are piccies. It’s not that complicated, the client wanted something child-like.

Of robots and apples

I started working on this logo a while ago…originally it had chicken legs and feet as well.At first I scanned in a drawing and redid it in Photoshop.

Then I realised that the apple wasn’t very apple-y, so I started to play around with paths until I got a shape I was happy with, and redid the shading using circular gradient fill.

I thought I was done, but then the fact that the antenna and the bolt were kind of dodgy started to bug me, so I redid them as well, using paths, and then I redid the shading (using linear gradient fill).

I’m pretty happy with the end product. It’s the first image I ever make in Photoshop that’s not a product of random chance, playing around or dodgying it up when I don’t know how to do something – the first thing I make that’s completely reproducible, that I could practically write a tutorial for. So it might not look that flashy, but I’m pretty proud of this little robotapple.After the election it might lose the text (brownie points if you get the reference).
