Snake Logo Design

This is the evolution:

It's a great feeling to have arrived at the final product that I did.  I've got little logo design experience, so it's been very interesting to walk myself through a different creative process, one that I think will benefit, will grow my process for creating my own work.  The logo was so getting so complex, so detailed.  My personal work has been highly detailed lately, and I was using that in the logo.  I was trying too hard.  There was a feeling of being stuck, feeling disinclined to begin the task of deciding what was important and what wasn't in the design, but I ended up having fun with it.

This is an excellent song, and a very entertaining music video to go along with it.  The story is funny.

I'm loving the book Siddhartha.  I wouldn't say the book has changed me in any way so far, but it's a very inward focused, spiritually centered book, and for those reasons I am able to relate to it on a very personal level.

The peacefullness that comes out of the empty heart.  The fact that everyone takes and everyone gives, and that is how life is.  The fact that other people are not here for our amusement.  The drive to experience everything, primarily myself, deeply and passionately, and yet not be mastered by anything.

As I learn from everything, and contemplate, my art continues to develop.  This is the third draft of a logo I'm designing for a friend.  It's come a long way since the initial sketches, and is going to be a great success when finished. 

This is what I'm listening to right now:

Here's the final version of this third draft of the snake logo.  Got some last second feedback from a fellow artist recommending I add some red to the compass, which turned out to be a great suggestion.  I'm not totally sold on the green, or the scales for that matter.  I think if I did one more draft, it could pop even more than it does now. 

feedback is encouraged!
