Kibbles 'n Bits

I whipped up this 'logo' in an hour or two for my friend Ryan in the early early morning. It was a fun exercise and I think the result is great (commercially acceptable and great), and it includes all the cliches you can expect from me for my level of skillz: flat-style Illustrator shapes, nice shadows with transparencies and hue-based color changes, round and nicely-fine-tuned cartoons, and an overuse of stars on top "i"s.

It is also very "2000's indie", in the way that you got: handwriting fonts written by real hand not a computer, Web 2.0-style rounded fonts, ribbons, shape resembling a classic emblem but drawn like a cartoon, and lots of irony featuring animals running around happily in a environmental-friendly cage. Oh, humanity! (Originally I want animals running around with syringes to increase the sense of subtle irony.) My stand towards humans owning pets is ambivalent. I guess animals do want to be our friends, but I guess they think we are dreaming.

Anyway, I should do more time attack exercises like this and I'm glad I took the challenge Ryan gave me. So... now let's start earning some money!
