So, I introduced a range of new jewellery designs, and a new colour, to FinestImaginary the other day….

They’re all gold mirror, so shiny! I’ve also added another 3 new designs (that aren’t gold, so they’re not in the image above.. duh).

Neato. Now go buy them.

FinestImaginary’s grr/arg necklaces were featured in this treasury about speech. Neato!

Some FinestImaginary jewellery bits are now available at the indie consignment store Bonbiforest, go check them!

How lovely, my little embroided deer canvas has been featured on this blog, http://thedesignalphabet.blogspot.com/2008/08/d-licious.html .

There’s some fun things going in the world of Imaginary right now, including some Monster prints & new necklace designs. Also very much on the cusp of getting all new printing equipment ready for an enslaught of brand new shirt designs! OoO! :D

I’m not at all experienced in logo design, apart from the odd bits I’ve had to do for FinestImaginary in the past, but as I was working on some logos at work the other day I thought I’d better investigate a bit more about this side of design and work on a new FinestImaginary logo whilst I was at it.

I briefly looked through the logo lounge book, which whilst a great resource of logos and inspiration for shapes/colour schemes, doesn’t really tell you anything about them. So anyway, I like pretty logos. My new FinestImaginary logo follows the same thought bubble theme of the older logo I scrabbled together with some photoshop preset shapes (bad, I know…).

Infact, this particular image wasn’t so much a logo as a graphic element that features in some banners, and accross the online store. Boo. I hate it.

So, now that FinestImaginary is developing some kind of visual identity (or at least, I feel it is… it’s falling into something anyway). I thought it was definitely time for a new logo to illustrate that. A lot of the new finestimaginary work is coming out clean, with fresh colours and with the new jewellery items there’s a lot of sharp defined edges. Of course, there’s gunna be some big things with printing later this year so I didn’t want to stray away from my screen printing roots. Then of course, there’s the fun factor that finestImaginary just can’t lose.

With all that blabbing on, here’s the new logo. It was fun, it’s simple, it’s clean and will work well for now. Who knows, I’ll probably hate it next week…
