Dog Show 2003 The logo was made for a coming dog show in January. I used a couple of photos of a golden retriever and an English cocker spaniel as model. With the shape tool I made the outlines of the dogs and applied suitable brush strokes.

The logo was made in two versions: one for colour purposes (ie broschures and posters) and one for black & white (ie office printing and copying).

TKB service This concept was made for a gardener friend of mine, who recently started his own gardening firm. I made a custom brush for the leaves which was used for the tree and the bushes. I used the font Metropolitaines as I found its forms quite organic like tree trunks and such.

For the black & white version I had to convert the brushes to shapes, so I could them a black outline. If someone wonders about the text "service / palvelu" it is because Finland (still) is bilingual and "palvelu" is Finnish for "service" (which is the same in both Swedish and English).

PCG The concept was made for a research group at the Åbo Akademi University. A couple of "institutions" of the chemistry-technical faculty joined to a single research group -Process Chemistry Group - and needed therefor a new logo and look. The university colours are black and yellow, and the faculty colour is green, so I started from those colours. The group had been accepted by the Finnish Academy (kind of a head organisation of all universities in Finland) as a "centre of excellence" research group. I suggested that a chemical molecule symbol could be suitable, and the professors suggested this"flash" shaped symbol of a molecule which they for some reason find very interesting and intrigueing (don't ask me about it, I haven't studied chemistry since school about 20 years ago).

Anyway, the molecular symbol they suggested was perfect: it looked a bit like a flash (for power and dynamics) and it pointed upwards (for success). And the colours I mentioned fitted in as well.

So what you see here is the letterhead, business cards (the group members can choose either a vertical or a horizontal model), the main logo and a black & white sticker
