logo design.

No click-throughs here. These images are small by nature.

  • This was for the Rutland Herald's 161st Vermont State Fair coverage in 2007. One thing I like to do in design is be able to replace letters with images in a way that the word still reads through easily. I think this is a good example of that with the ribbon replacing both the "a" and the "o." If you're not from around here, you might wonder why I chose the ribbon. The Vermont State Fair has a strong agricultural connection and seemingly endless competitions in which these ribbons are handed out.

  • Growing Pains was a short Rutland Herald series of stories appearing in Spring of 2007. Though the series wasn't as large in scope or as memorable as the others listed here, I thought this logo was a particularly good example to add to my portfolio. The series was about the difficulties of growing business in a stagnant environment. The logo replaces the "i" in "Growing" with the word "Pains" and features a height chart as the vertical word grows out of the horizontal one.

  • This is a nostalgic favorite of mine from the award-winning 2005 series written by Kevin O'Connor for the Sunday editions of the Rutland Herald and the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. This logo ran centered with a .5 rule box around the package. The red line you see under the words turned into the black box and ran around the story. Though I did not do the layout of the page that this series ran on, I hope I can dig up a copy of the original. If I can, I will post it here.

  • Pump Watch was a front page feature in the Rutland Herald from summer 2008 until the end of the year. It tracked the most expensive and cheapest gas prices in the state. This feature appeared somewhere on A1 in various incarnations, but this logo was always the core of the small package.

  • Paycheck to Paycheck was an eight-day series appearing in the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus in the summer of 2008. It looked at local and statewide economic issues. Along with this logo, I designed a look for the entire series, which dominated Page 1 of the paper for more than a week.
