Description: My first project won through LogoPond! :-) Logo for Eric DeVine, maker of high quality stringed instruments. The brief called for a literal vine, to play off his surname. Also needed to show a long heritage, craftsmanship and French flair (his surname is of French origin). Another requirement was for the overall shape to fit the headstock of a guitar. Colour prints gold.

I did a mock-up of the guitar headstock and it was looking sweet. Also have worked on the inside 'label' (signed by the maker) and 2 funky t-shirt designs.

brandsanity said on May. 02 '11

Very elegant - I would imagine a product stamped with this to be of really good quality!

simon™ said on May. 02 '11

Thanks Colin, Mike & Daniel. I can't wait to see the final products too!

Rokac said on May. 02 '11

Speechless:) Logo looks great, their website is excellent and those instruments they make are splendid. I'm in love:)

simon™ said on May. 02 '11

^ Thanks Roko. And for taking the time to visit the client's newly designed website. The photography is awesome, and all his own work! Amazing craftsmanship on his guitars and ukuleles, so it was initially quite intimidating to design a logo to represent that level of skill. I mean, come on, it's an unfair battle - he has cool woodworking tools, and I have a pencil and mouse. ;-)

Sean Heisler said on May. 02 '11

Very, very nice, Simon!

brandsanity said on May. 02 '11

I guess it's not how big your tool is but how you use it :) Congratulations on the feature too, really well deserved!

brandsanity said on May. 02 '11

LOL shit it's 13mu featured - my bad! Haha take it as a compliment though - your portfolio is great man

vergad said on May. 02 '11

splendid outcome simon. really happy he went this option... you've done a stellar job (again)!

Oronoz ® said on May. 02 '11

Great job Simon!!

simon™ said on May. 02 '11

Very kind of you Sean, Daniel, Matt & Alan! Daniel, LOL at your 'tool' comment! :-D

Rokac said on May. 03 '11

@Simon I completely understand what you're saying:) But again, I don't think he would be so comfortable and good with mouse and pencil as you are:) Living in Hawaii, crafting beautiful instruments, enjoying music, what a lifestyle, marvelous!

itsgareth said on May. 04 '11

Top dollar. Well dome Simon.

simon™ said on May. 04 '11

Thanks Gareth & Sergey!

devey said on May. 04 '11

Nice work on this one. I really like the sense of depth.

simon™ said on May. 04 '11

^ Thanks Jeff! Pity I'm such a shallow guy. ;-)

nathantrafford said on May. 05 '11

Thanks for all the nice comments on my work, Simon. I enjoy your work too! It seems like you're really enjoying working within a circle in your recent logos, which is really cool, and not easy to do! I would love to see how this one works in one color. Also, I can totally see this working on the headstock, with the V and Devine in pearl, and all the viney stuff in a lighter tone of wood! Gorgeous (and expensive) guitars too!

sbdesign said on May. 05 '11

yeah! It's perfect! Especially if it is connected with guitars I all hands have already broken that:)

codeluu said on May. 08 '11

Nice job mate :)

DeVine Guitars said on May. 27 '11

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Simon for his work on my new logo. Simon really is a great guy to work with and knew what I wanted better than I did. Thanks Simon!

Simon™ said on May. 27 '11

^ Hi Eric. This took me completely by surprise. Thank you so much for signing up and commenting here. While what we do is categorized as 'commercial art', I believe we as designers form strong personal attachments to the work we produce, having immersed ourselves in your world for a while, so I'm extremely grateful to be acknowledged beyond a pay cheque. Thank you!
