Late last week I create a new online t-shirt store on the website Teepublic.
To kick start my store I have a total of six characters and each one has a choice of six different colours, making a total of thirty six t-shirt designs.
These are in fact from one of my previous projects chibi logos from early last year. Of course there are some minor improvements to them.

With the recent change to my new logo I decided to make a new banner for my YouTube channel.
Here is the new banner:
I wanted a simple banner, so it is just my logo on a black background. There are also sword slash effects that fly off to the right side of the logo.
This banner will also be used on my Tumblr (Ian2Danim) page.
Last week in my spare time I decided to create a new business card in accordance to my recent change of logo design.
Here is the front view and back view of my new business card:

Finally I have completed my new business logo. On the design itself I decided to include my other name (ian2Danim) that I use on some of my other social media such as my YouTube channel, Twitter etc.
For the idea behind my new logo I decided to have a swordsman swinging his sword creating a shock wave. I wanted to have a more action pose for my logo in relation to what I do such as animation.
This is defiantly better than my original logo and I am quite happy on the final result. 🙂
My next step is to now go to all my other portfolios and change the old logo to this new one.
Eventually I will make a new opening sequence involving this new logo.
For quite some time now I have been thinking of updating my existing logo with a fresh and new design. This means that I will scrape my current logo with a new one instead.
The reason for the change is because I feel that my current logo doesn’t identify my services that well and I want the new design to have more of a character to it. It will also have a similar art style to my current logo but will have some extra details added in.
So far I have completed the draft version of my logo, the next step will be concept stage and finally the final version.
