Self Branding

 After reviewing past self-branding exercises I've done I realised that my design work has improved greatly since, and my branding needs updating drastically. I decided that I wanted my logo to be my signature as I felt like it was the best representation of me. It displays my name in a style that I like (a style connotative of luxury). Here I was experimenting with different logo types and letter forms. G and B are letters that I have always disliked due to the mix of straight lines and curves.
 More experimenting with letter forms and logos.
 I realised quickly that I wanted to explore signatures, however because of how common signatures are, I would need to have an element which is unique or memorable. I have been thinking about having the first letter of each name being highlighted, or having an extra element to the signature. Also for print production, I would like to experiment with foil pressing or embossing.
My signature exploring 'outside of the box'. I have also been thinking about introducing a single shape somewhere in the design, or a symbol which I feel would reflect my personality.
