Rugged Rock Logo Design Sketches, Paint & Photoshop 18 MAY 2011

I finally got around to designing a usable logo for my collective group of work that has always gone under the banner of Rugged Rock Studio for as long as I can remember (that or CodeUnit when it comes to my programming work).

Anyway, wanting to emphasise the strength and durability of the name, I opted for a rocky fist (think the Thing from Fantastic Four if that helps) and adopted a brown palette as the main color scheme for the studio logo. And after a bit of pencils, fineliner, scanning and a quick dab of Photoshop wizardry, out popped the following three web elements which will now adorn and serve to tie together my various web presences as I make an effort over the next while to give everything a much needed lick of fresh paint.

First, the official Rugged Rock Studio logo:

Next, the Rugged Rock tab which will hang above all my sites:

And finally the official Rugged Rock Studio icon, which will become the favicon for the majority of my sites:

Nifty.

With no cakes having to go out the door for @thehelderbergcakecompany on Sunday, Chantelle, the girls, and I enjoyed a lazy afternoon of nibbling on pizza, sipping coffee, and rolling on the grass lawn at Bluebird Cafe, situated next to the old Mountain Breeze farm stall on the R44 between Stellenbosch and Somerset West. #pizza #sundaylunch #familytime #bluebirdcafe #mountainbreeze #r44 #stellenbosch #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Stellenbosch Flying Club wasn't allowing non members to join them for brunch, so instead, we hopped across the road for a wonderfully relaxed meal at Bluebird Cafe, a relatively new venture next to the old Mountain Breeze farm stall. #lunch #bluebirdcafe #mountainbreeze #r44 #stellenbosch #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
You don't have to walk down this path at the Steenbras Water Treatment Plant lookout point, but I was curious enough to do it. #lookoutpoint #steenbraslookoutpoint #helderbergmountain #mountain #gordonsbay #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Looking out across Gordon's Bay. The sky was a little hazy today, so not great for photos unfortunately. #lookoutpoint #steenbraslookoutpoint #helderbergmountain #mountain #gordonsbay #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
Looking up towards the Steenbras Water Treatment Plant on the upper slopes of the Helderberg mountain. #lookoutpoint #steenbraslookoutpoint #helderbergmountain #mountain #gordonsbay #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
There's a dog at the top of those stairs watching a very heavy man huff and puff his way up some rather steep steps. #lookoutpoint #steenbraslookoutpoint #helderbergmountain #mountain #gordonsbay #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
