Vision
The vision pitched by the customer was to create a logo for the upcoming community driven website “JKHub”, which was intended to be a central place for the gaming community of Star Wars: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy. With this in mind, the logo had to follow the same feel of the game.
Development
Logo
I drafted several designs for the customer , until he settled on the design below. The design is based on the logo from the game, and the overall theme is that of a “hub”, which transmits and receives data, hence the radio waves at either side of the central logo. Colours where a big talking point between myself and the customer, and it was decided to settle on the palette below to contrast against the theme of the website.
- Base layout
- Finished logo
Second Logo
Purchased by the same customer but so far unused, this logo was meant to be a more modern version of the same concept. It was originally going to be part of the XenForo website migration which was scrapped.
Palette
Logo v1
Logo v2
Fonts
- Myriad Pro – v1 font
- Open Sans – v2 font
Testimonial
I commissioned Simon to make a logo for JKHub. Being a web designer (but not a graphics designer) myself, I was extremely picky about getting it just right. Simon was very professional and patient with me throughout several revisions, and made a logo I’m really happy with. He did a great job, and I couldn’t have asked for someone better.Erwin, Founder
