Two In One Package

      Part of the challenge of graphic design is not just making  a good and compelling logo. One also has to ensure that said logo fits the product it is assigned with. Sure, one could create the greatest image known to mankind that provokes oneself to truly think about life's greatest questions. However, this does not mean that said image is perfect for advertising, let's say, a $2.30 burger from a fast food joint.  There are so many things to consider, other than the obvious, when making a logo, ad campaign, or even merchandise. 

       Take the look have placed above for example. This logo is for the upcoming season of Kamen Rider: Kaman Rider Geats. A Japanese tokusatsu series that features A new main character every year, usually with a new gimmick. As such, the logos for each season are usually made to reflect either the gimmick, main characters design, or a central theme in some way. As such, I feel it best to show the design for the main character itself as well.

    So, as you can see, the logo here is fitting in with this current iteration of the show, based on the design of our hero.  I wanted to do this discussion because after looking at the logo, and not anything else (further info was nor released at the point), it had me thinking about this subject. When designing, you want a concise style that fits in with the end product. When adding to said product, you want to ensure it keeps in with the style selected. As I said before, it's a two in one package with this business.

     With that being said, I do plan on continuing this discussion with the next blog. Granted, it won't be the same topic, but I do think it lines up enough. Until then, stay tuned.
