Logo Designing

When annotating my sketchbook page on Dark Horse Comics I was drawn towards the logo for Dark Horse Comics which had me thinking i might as well start designing a logo for my comic book. I liked the look of  The Umbrella Academy logo crest which got me looking into heraldic crests and other type of crests. I was not too sure on what to create so experiment with different ways of arranging the letters A and E which would stand for Alter Ego....Alter Ego Productions...Alter Ego Comics maybe....then i had an idea of turning the word into Japanese.... I thought of having alter ego in Japanese because it reminded me of Japanese Manga which is similar to comic books....and i wanted a symbolic look that crests have...simply by changing the words from English to Japanese. I placed the Japanese word for alter ego in illustrator where i could make the words bigger and printed it off...i was experimenting different ways of creating a face with the words so that the letters would be the eyes of a face...but it was not working too well so keeping in the theme of Manga i looked online for images on how to draw Manga which i roughly followed....the letters now acted as part of the eyes of the character i had created...However i went on to create other graphic looking illustrations and patters which were loosely linked to the crest designs on top of the piece i had made.... I had advise from a peer that i could still use the drawing as a logo if i scan it into the computer and then repeat a part of it to create some type of flower looking thing...A logo...simple to the eye..then a closer look reveals much more.
