Delve Into Lunacy

Well, I finally decided to start working on getting a replacement for the piece of crap that is currently the FallenBlossom site. The first thing I started with was the logo.

I had three ideas going into it: the silhouette of an iris with the blossom on the ground, the silhouette of a cherry blossom tree with the petals blowing off of it, and just a stylized “Fb”. I nixed the cherry blossom one right off since I figured in smaller images the petals wouldn’t show up. The “Fb” I fiddled with but couldn’t come up with anything that I really liked. So I started working on the iris one but was getting nowhere fast with my lackluster graphics skills.

While playing around trying to make the blossom part of the image I decided to go with an ultra simplified look versus something more life-like since that’s really what I was wanting to shoot for with the entire site anyway. Here’s what I came up with. The purple will be what I use for the background color on the site and I like the way the greens and dark gray fit with it so they’ll be heavily used throughout the site as well. I’m kind of leaning toward #4 but haven’t completely settled on the final one yet. What do you think?
