Critique: Logo love & horseshoes galore

A couple of weeks ago, our class had a conference call with Broadway performer and country music's rising star, Laura Bell Bundy.  In the interview, she helped us explore her personality so that we may best represent her in our logo designs. The assignment, which we presented in class yesterday, was to design 20 different logo ideas for LBB, and try to make each design an individual/unique concept.

I knew right away how difficult it would be - many times when I'm brainstorming, I feel as though my brain reaches creative capacity circa concept number three.  That said, I was intrigued with the thought of possibly being able to do this, so I took a shot at it.  In the end, I feel that I did a great job at making my ideas as unique from each other as possible.  Some of them are (obviously) better than others, but that is expected.  (It will actually make my life easier when choosing which five to fully execute for next week.) Anyway, here are the designs that I came up with and presented in class yesterday:

In all, the entire process was extremely beneficial. I am now confident that I can create beyond my own imagination, and the input of my peers helped me see the potential of some of my designs that I hadn't previously appreciated.

A full execution is due next Tuesday, and following class, I will post those online for you too see! Thanks for coming by,
