Day 25: Introducing... MaiaMade Media!!

Hello hello hello! I hope all is well with you and I'm so excited to announce that I'm beginning to create my production logo!

As I've said before, I've decided to name my production company "MaiaMade Media" (LOVE the alliteration). For every birthday and holiday, I always make handmade cards for my friends and family. When I was younger, I saw that one of my family friends wrote "HannaMade" on the back of her handmade cards and decided to steal that idea because I LOVED it. Now, I write "MaiaMade" on the back of each of my cards as my little watermark.

Logically, I've decided to use Canva to create my production logo. I want it to reflect creativity with my logo, so I was thinking of using a paintbrush, or possibly music notes. 

I also created a Pinterest board with fonts and art that I could possibly use, because in the past I've found super ones on there before.



I started my logo design in school, but Pinterest doesn't work with the school wifi, so the first version was a VERY rough idea. I basically just picked a color that I knew I wanted to incorporate into my logo. Because I realized that Pinterest doesn't work in school, I decided just to wait until I got home to continue.

v.1

Once I was home, I decided to scrap the yellow gradient all together because I didn't really like it. Instead, I used some of the designs from Pinterest to create what you see below. I wanted to try and use the bunnies somehow, but couldn't figure out how, though I ended up using the notebook paper as the background in my final product.
v.2

After I deleted the bunnies, I thought it might be cool if I had a hand writing out "MaiaMade Media". I found the pastel pink and blue striped wallpaper for the background and thought I could fully lean in towards the DIY and scrap-booking type of vibe. I didn't really like how the hand looked and couldn't properly animate it to look like it was writing.

v.3

I also wanted to add a little star character, so I found one off of Pinterest and just replaced the bottom left star with the one I chose. I animated this star to wiggle around a little bit and I really liked the fact that it is looking upwards, as if it's looking at the font. The stars also reinforce the scrap-booking vibe because they are like stickers.

v.4

All I needed to do at this point was find a handwriting font that was legible and one that I actually liked. This brings us to my finished production logo!! I'm absolutely thrilled with it because I think it is so so cute and represents me and my "branding" if you will. I added the sound of a pen writing to bring in the idea from v.3 to make the logo a bit more interactive. This also kind of reminds me of the intro of a YouTube vlog in the best way possible. The scrap-booking idea that I ended up with perfectly reflects how I wanted to incorporate creativity like I said in the beginning.


I hope you enjoyed seeing the process of my production logo creation and I'll catch ya on my next post!!
