Hott Tarts Logo Design
Hott Tarts is a Cleveland OH home made pop tart business I created a logo for. The inspiration from my awesome client is the 90’s, and it shows. It brought me back to my slap bracelet, SNES, and capri sun days.
Happy Monday! I wanted to share with you all this fun project I just completed. Hott Tarts is a Cleveland based and owned pop tart company started by my awesome client Michelle. She wanted a 90’s inspired logo, and really wanted the feel of 90’s pushed to the max. I grew up in the 90’s, but I really had to do some visual research, and play lots of 90’s music while getting this feeling right.

Logo v2.0
Overall, I sent over quite a few logo concepts, and these two made the cut to be final logo. The concept behind this one was Neon lit signs were all the rage in the 90’s, so that is where this logo’s idea originated from.

CLVD HAIR STUDIO LOGO
Hello my friends! I am lucky and thankful to have such a nice referral base which brought me to work with Katie at CLVD HAIR STUDIO, located in Avon Ohio. If you all need your hair done and you are in the Cleveland area, please go visit her! Her Instagram is @hairbykatiekim so check her out Cleveland! Overall I really loved doing this project, and I love the Cleveland Guardian statues so it was a win for me. Katie had a clear idea of what she wanted, so it was fun to take her clear idea and make it a reality in my own way.
I wanted the guardian illustration to work in the logo, and on his own as well. I created various icons Katie could utilize on marketing materials, business cards or social media.

HXDCRAFT Logo Design
Close up details.
I was lucky enough to work with such an awesome client Christa, at @HXDCRAFT. Christa was a designers dream, who gave feedback and had creative ideas of her own, that really fleshed out the logo to be what it became. I was given to main goals for this logo:
A serpent.
A 3 hole key.
The serpent to have red eyes ( which later turned purple)
I did a lot of visual research for this logo. I looked at a lot of 3 looped keys, but my goal was to not have the key the focal point, but the snake around the key. I wanted the key to be solid, but still have character so I cut out shaped to add a bit of dimension.
Reduced size logos.
Early Concepts
Early versions of the logo, I worked in a lot of red to add contrast, which later turned to purple by my client sending me a swatch of purple to try. The purple really adds a nice contrast to the logo itself and I am so glad the client had the idea to try it.
