Verba Badge Sketches

The lowly beginnings of the Verba badge designs! First some rough sketches I brainstormed out in photoshop. Played with a few symbols; keyboard keys, ornate pen nibs, scribble lines. Then moved into Illustrator to endlessly iterate on shapes & colours; hunting for the perfect fit.

I feel like I don't see enough early-stage sketches & experiments go up on Dribbble. Do you post idea sketches and process shots in your feed? Let me know and I'll follow along!
