This logo has won 3 major awards: This logo also appears in these publications: The process I used was somewhat disjointed and a very long one at that, mainly because I was designing for myself and I had no idea what ‘brand’ I was after, but this is it. What will be my business name? Believe it or not but this was one of the hardest parts of the process. I actually got very mixed feedback about this name ‘JackCass Productions’.
