He has sent the following links as inspiration -

Update

Have been talking with Alex and he is happy with the designs we have so far.

They would like an update on the Phoenix CD as the writing is hard to read and needs more writing, a title and the program version. We'll be updating that.

They would also like an .ico file so I'll need to spend some time finding an app to do that with.

Client has confirmed that they want to be able to use Front Page to maintain everything when they're done. This is good news as we were looking at different CMS for the project. We now know that we can develop everything in HTML & CSS.

Meeting with Clients

We had a meeting with Alex and Laurence to discuss the logo.

This was really important as everything depends on its approval as once it is finalised, we can move onto the elements of the project (banner, business cards, website etc).

It was a good meeting and we got a clearer understanding of what Alex and Laurence want. We now need to develop this further and take on board their suggestions.

Feedback from Logo

Alex has responded with some feedback and suggestions.

They are:

- I have been emailed the attached from a friend, maybe if something like that can be placed over the letter "i" in Phoenix so it looks like flames/wing coming out of the letter?

- This logo (Google "phoenix logo") gave me the idea of creating something that that looks like fire from the bottom but also like a (horizontal) wing (in flight) from the top (depending on whether you concentrate on the red or the white in the image)

- This is also nice although the head reminds me to much of a chicken.

- Also very nice and simple (good to convert into a program-icon in windows), we could use this to form the letter "P" of Phoenix maybe? Wings re-coloured into shades of red, orange, yellow.

The theme is similar in most of them: using the similarity between flames and feathered wing to create the logo.

For the colours we should keep in mind that we are selling a mine-rehabilitation system, so environment (green) could be combined with red (flames) or yellow/gold expressing superiority.

Current Logo Design

This has been e-mailed through to Alex and Laurence for feedback.

Start of Project

Today we received our project for Studio III. The course content is very broad and we have a lot of options.

Corrine and I have decided to work together on the redesign of the Phoenix Software. We have met with the software's creator Alex Pudmenzky.

The project is quite broad and entails the redesign of the logo and accompanying graphic design requirements (brochures, letterhead, business cards, cd labels & cover and splash, help & installer screens). Also required to be redesigned is the website.

We are also going to conduct a HCI investigation into the software to ensure the interaction design is constructed from a usability standpoint.
