The health and well-being of our community is of vital concern to us, so the Makarios Valley Ranch logo has been cancelled due to concerns about the novel coronavirus Covid-19. The Makarios Valley Ranch logo will be rescheduled for a later date.
I designed this in my head on the way home from Costco. I wish this was a 4-hour-logo because I have more ideas (I even started a movie poster) but I need to go to bed now. This is the 1-hour version.
I used a hexagon because I thought of bacteriophages, and they have a hexagonal head. I had the thought that you could make a series of virus logos always inside of the same device that anybody could use as a shorthand. In news articles and broadcasts and whatnot.
This would be a good time to meditate on the nature of the 1-hour-logo project. This stuff is far from my best work. My best work always takes time, usually lots of time, or inspiration. But inspiration is for amateurs. It is not reliable. The point of this project is to find out what I can do under the gun, with no inspiration, leaning on the skills I have earned over years and years of doing the work. And to hopefully, tease out some of my bad habits so I can become a better artist. And its fun.
