INNOVATION VOICES : LOGO

Founded by Mark Walters, Innovation Voices is a company that aims to be a platform for artists and businesses to connect and collaborate. Mark needed a logo for the starting company and got in touch specifying the logo should be fun, creative and something where urban culture meets corporate opportunities. After a few ideas, here's the final logo. Mark also wrote a lovely testimonial for my website after the project was completed...

It was actually a recommendation to use Katrina Clark Design and there was certainly no disappointment. Katrina made sure she understood the purpose of the company and both its aim and direction. I had many ideas and at times got stuck, but through Katrina's patience and professionalism she knew when to step in and use her expertise to guide the project on, excellent keeper of time, smashing designs and I couldn't be happier with the end result.
