Love the logo design. I especially liked the angled text on the business card- it made me think of the rotation involved when opening a lock with a key. Great Job!

Excellent!

Not only a pleasing balance of design and space, but also a clever use of design element to serve as typography. Davidson Locksmith must be happy!

Hi Michael, there’s no set number of hours needed. It might be 30 minutes, it might be six months. Whatever the time, don’t sell yourself short. You have a skill your client wants.

David, great work and very inspiring work. Given your experience with logos design, would you say that there is a set number of hours put into each design?The reason I ask this is right after my clients ask my fee, the next question always seems to be how many hour will this take. Can you honestly give them a general quote without low balling yourself too much?

Hi Evelyn,

I agree. The kerning could be improved upon. Thankfully, this is one of my earlier logo designs, and I think I’ve learnt a fair bit since back then. Still a long way to go.

I hope your internship’s going great, by the way.

Hi David, I am currently on an internship at a creative agency in London, and stumbled across your website/blog on my lunch break.
I am a HUGE type geek i have to say, and I really appreciate classic typography, and beautiful composition/execution.
I love really simple ideas, ones that communicate the idea effortlessly, and this is one of them, yet the execution seems a little unconsidered. The kerning on the lettering for example feels a little tight, and the ‘A’ has a little too much room to breathe. This is picky stuff, and I’m no expert especially in logo design but from what I have picked up, the execution needs to look effortless.
Simplicity is beautiful. Cheers,
Evelyn
