5 Days of Favorites: TYPEFACE THURSDAY!

I was asked to create artwork for a wonderful Christmas project at a local mall. The Rankin/Bass inspired display featured life sized 3D people & elves, a mini town and the interrior of Santa's castle! It was a great experience and I enjoyed creating the logo for the exhibit. Below are some of my design ideas & the finished logo! 
The Christmas exhibit was the brainchild of artist & visionary Dean Calusdian (who usually designs haunted houses!) and you can check out his amazing artwork at www.dreamswithindreams.com !

Oooh these logo's look awesome! And the final one is my fave ^_^.

I have this feeling that Christmas still has to come. Okay okay, I know in a way it still has to come, but there is this chrstimas vibe outside and in the store. Like Christmas is next week or something. And now I see these logo's...candy cane's!

Yes. I can't comment in a short sentence haha. I usually have to add some side story.

What a fun assignment, Chris!

Any photos of the whole display?

Chris Sabatino said...

Thanks, Bill! I do have many photos of Santa's Winter Wonderland! I'm thinking of creating a post of those photos in the near future.

I like 'em all. I'm assuming the one on the bottom is the logo that was chosen...and I think that's my favorite. The one with the snowman is lot's of fun too.

Chris Sabatino said...

Thank you, Mr. Curtis! Yeah, I like the snowman in there too, which is why my graphic design teachers went crazy, my logo designs were always too illustrative!

Wow, I can't say my favorite: all are fantastic, Chris.

Chris Sabatino said...
