The Design Process-- Custom Logo

Last week, Oh My Dot! won an alchemy bid request for a custom logo, banner & avatar. {Banners & avatars are sort of like storefront signs on Etsy.} I worked with a lovely gal named Myra who is an incredibly talented crochet-er. {I'm not exactly sure what to call someone who crochets, but crochet-er sounds good to me.} She told me she wanted something bright & whimsical. She said she liked owls & the color blue. I sent her a few concept samples & got her opinions of them.


She liked the second one with the owl best. We worked together to create exactly what she was looking for, which ended up looking a little something like this:

Need a custom logo for your Etsy shop? Your photography business? A personalized motif for your wedding? Maybe even a custom design for an upcoming special birthday party or other event? Oh My Dot! can help you out! Contact Cara {Mrs.McGrady@hotmail.com} for more information & be sure to check out OMD!'s shop: ohmydot.etsy.com!

New at OMD!

Whoa! It's a whole new world here at OMD!'s blog! Thanks to *incredible* help from the very tech-savvy Adam Lewis, the blog is looking pretty spiffy! (New background, header, post divider & signature! Woo woo!) If you're looking to spruce up your site, definitely send him an email! (adam_lewis23@live.co.uk)
Anywhooo. On to the fun stuff! Here are some recent designs by OMD!

This is the custom logo I designed for a new etsy shop, Simply Darling. They make the *cutest* hair bows, korkers & tutu's! My husband has kindly asked that I do not put any of the aforementioned hair bows or tutu's on our son. Bummer.

These cute little flashcards are part of a set that Pearl ordered for her niece & nephew. She asked that the L & D cards were personalized with photos of Lukas & Danika. They turned out so cute! I threw in a two extra cards so "Aunt Pearl" & "Uncle Ronnie" could have their own flashcards too! :o) ***In unrelated news, these two threw the BEST Pampered Chef party I've ever attended!!! The food was simply to die for! ***


This little cutie is going on a baby shower invitation! Justine wanted to do a bear theme with brown & blue. I think the mom-to-be is going to love it! :o)



Christmas is just 74 days away! I've been designing my little fingers to the bone creating lots & lots of fun Christmas photo cards! Look for them in the shop soon! Here's one of my favorites. Perhaps I'm a bit partial though.
Stay tuned for more updates & recent orders.... and maybe even a giveaway! :o)

A little of this... A little of that...



Congratulations to Julie Norman who won Oh My Dot's very first giveaway! Enjoy your recipe cards! If you aren't Julie, but you still liked the recipe cards, you can get find them in my shop!

I got my very first set of business cards this week. I designed them myself & I'm super proud of them! {I taped one to our fridge, just so I could show it off.... is that geeky?)

Here's what it looks like....



And.... since I love having business cards {I truly think *everyone* needs to have a business card... even if you don't have a business. It just makes you feel important!}, I decided to design another one {you know, for when these ones run out...eventually.}

Which one do you like better?
