Mayuri House of Art and Learning is a new art school that is recently opened at Iramanis Centre, Jalan Kelombong, Kota Kinabalu. Mayuri House approached me to re-design the company logo, a new design for business cards, flyers for distribution and also a banner because they would be having a soft opening on the 2nd of March, 2008. First and foremost, the logo’s primary purpose was to act as an identifier for the art school.

The name “Mayuri” is a Hindi expression meaning “Peacock”. Some of the services they provide are lessons for oil pastel, pastel, water colour, oil painting, acrylic painting creative art projetcs; craft work,etc.. which offers children and also adults to enroll their quality art lessons.

Here are the samples of the designs - (click for a bigger view)

Business Card Design

Four main colours were used in the logo to represent a colourful vibrant image as a creative art school and colours green/ yellow/ blue/ red /black combination was the client’s preferred choice. The font used in the design is Garamond Premier Pro.

Flyer Design

Banner Design

Time was the essence for this project as we had 2 weeks to complete everything but the conclusion is Mayuri House was gladly satisfied with the designs and also the number of people that came for the soft opening after we did flyer distributions around targetted areas. I hope to upload more pictures of the opening event soon.

What do you think of the designs?

Deffjoint is a company whom supplies DJs around top clubs in Kota Kinabalu such as Bluenote, Cocoon and Shenanigans. I had the honour to design their logo, business card and also t-shirts to promote thier company.

I wanted to represent the logo with a DJ console look and a fresh look on the branding of the company image.

Here are a few ideas I had before finalising on the designs.(click on pic for a larger image)

Deffjoint logo

The finalised logo by the client is the top huge red mark which is more simplistic yet the image will achieve recognition
that is directly to the company services.

Personally, I prefer the top right logo symbol for my personal taste. Which logo is on your mind?

Deffjoint T shirts

After the logo is done, I had to design 3 sets of tshirts for the company which is the black and white ones and the red t-shirts are complimentary for the deejays which are coming down for our February event in Bluenote (click here for more info on..) All of the logo printed on the t-shirts are embossed.

Which would be your personal favourite? Tell me what you think.
