A logo I designed earlier this year for: http://inkbutter.com/ This was a very complex logo to create which involved a lot of preliminary sketching. I will eventually post more details about the design process including concept sketches on my Art of Hand Lettering blog when I have some free time available.
As I recall, there may have been 50 preliminary sketch studies for the Ink Butter logo project. I had to figure out how to lock up the cap I and B. The client originally had a set type logo to start with too much going on and not easy to read. I do plan to post my follow up for this project in a week or so.
Next project I plan to show is lettering used for a wine label. This one required a rather tight sketch for client approval and has a lot of B/W contrast issues to resolve as the lettering conforms to a wine glass shape. I will post images and details for the wine label after the holidays.
I actually love the fact that it looks this great without any special visual effects applied: no dust, no scratches, no shadows, no transparencies, no 3Ds - pure, clean, calligraphic sex!

Last night I had some time available to post the concept sketches at my blog:

Quite a bit of sketching for this one and well worth the effort.
