<p><a href="https://sachachua.com/blog/2012/12/experience-report-naming-my-company/">Having come up with a name for my business</a> (I turn experiences into visuals, so ExperiVis!), I decided to spend some time figuring out what a logo might look like. I need this in order to start creating sketchnote templates and choosing colour schemes for marketing materials. Here’s what I sketched:</p>
<p><a href="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/image18.png"><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/image_thumb17.png" width="580" height="278"></a></p>
<p>I tried a plain lettering style versus typing it in, and I preferred the formality of typing things in. Replacing the X with a stylus made me smile, so I kept it. I liked red more than blue – I think it’s more exciting, even though red might also make people think of grade school teachers, incorrect answers, and negative results.</p>
<p>W- thought bright red was more vivid and energetic than the dark red I’ve been using for my website, so I used bright red. He also suggested adding the little eraser cap like the way the Lenovo stylus is designed:</p>
<p>Here’s the image after I cleaned it up in Inkscape:</p>
<p><a href="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/experivis.png"><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="experivis" border="0" alt="experivis" src="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/experivis_thumb.png" width="580" height="126"></a></p>
<p>Update 2012-12-31: Now with a swooshier swoosh!</p>
<p><a href="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/experivis1.png"><img loading="lazy" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="experivis" border="0" alt="experivis" src="https://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/experivis_thumb1.png" width="579" height="132"></a></p>
<p>I think it’s a good starting point. =) Next steps: Sketch my services!</p>
