Description: an unused graphic direction for a school. I still have plans for this one though down the road. I was challenged to combine the lion and the lamb along with a cross/sword. I am working with another style direction for the final logo(crest) design, I'll post that when completed.

this client got a hold of me because of these other design I had already designed for another client. http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/165836
So it has been a nice challenge to see if I can come up with another lion/lamb combo. Its been fun.

You are the one ... looks amazing !!

samdemastrie Jan. 15 '13

Pretty rad, I like it. Maybe facing right?

Dan. Jan. 15 '13

Sneaky lamb

ClimaxDesigns Jan. 15 '13

the ampersand is throwing me off, seems like its style doesnt match up?

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

Bernd, thanks, bud.
Same goes out to you Dan. cheers.
Sam, I hear ya on the facing to the right. Its weird, but because the lamb is lower and then faces to the left it looks a tad off balance.
Maybe because we read left to right, top to bottom, I don\'t know, but it feels better this way. But then again it might be just me.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

David, you might have something there. The ampersand added a tough of softness to the type for me. And the fact that there are some think and thin lines in the mark, it felt like it worked. But I may I may need to rethink it. Thanks, man.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

^oops..meant to say \"a touch of softness to the type.\"

rudy hurtado Jan. 15 '13

Mike how about adding the dagger as the plus sign=& it might clean up the design.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

Good thought, Rudy.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

Placed the cross/sword in place of the ampersand. I think that works also. THX, Rudy. And you also, David, for making me take another look.

cheers.

cool call rudy. i like it mikey.

ColinTierney Jan. 15 '13

^ ughh, that\'s *good* call.

orca design Jan. 15 '13

Very clever. Very original.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

Colin, yeah I agree, maybe I should change out the two so the cross is the main image.
might do that. Tanks! < ughh! I mean \"THANKS\"> (HA!)
orca, thanks goes your way also. appreciate it!

Cross instead of the ampersand really does look better, more consistent with the bold type & visual a reference to the mark, which is great for a type-only situation.

Mikeymike Jan. 15 '13

I agree, Josh.
Changed the main image to be without the ampersand.
Thanks bud.
Thanks again Rudy for the insight.

samdemastrie Jan. 15 '13

I think I prefer the ampersand.

ColinTierney Jan. 15 '13

mikey, you should have the cross break the baseline and extend to a point like you have in the mark.

ClimaxDesigns Jan. 15 '13

thats what im talking about now it looks homogeneous to steal another \'david\'s\' word :D

Mikeymike Jan. 16 '13

G A L L E R Y!! THX.
Sam, I do like both, but this works cleaner and I think was a good suggestion to be More \"homogeneous\" as David puts it! :D
Colin, see what your saying, but I wanted to give the impression of a cross more than the sword between the words.
David. :D
