Logos | Yes, In Stipple Art Style!

Being a freelancer, I take on a variety of work, not just the Wall Street Journal hedcuts that I'm most often retained for. A recent case in point is a series of small logos I produced for Hines, a property development company. Greg Malphurs at Soupcan was the A/D-- a talented guy and a great person to work with. Rucker and Co. was the branding company that put us together. We ended up doing five small icon images for Hines. Some were direct and simple to create, some required sketch development to get the concept right. But, I think the results, in the end, were satisfying for all concerned.
