New Year, New Logo?

1/15/2013

I've struggled for years trying to create a black heart that would be the right logo for Beat Black. It's something I've been especially particular about and so far this is the closet I've come. Here is the polymer clay version of my sketches
beat black heart logo
I wanted a logo that would incorporate my tag of "where the sweet and sour co-mingle", as well as the black heart.

I don't think I would have come up wit this on my own so I'd like to give credit where credit is due. Thanks to the craft show go-ers who either saw tentacles in this beat black necklace or suggested the design, Cynthia Moustache-Bacon Gregg who had this to say on my facebook page:
"It would be awesome if you could make a heart necklace with tentacles coming out it, or something like that."
and Bunny X Productions who created the inspiration for the tentacle on this pumper.

As a side note, Canada Posts already sky high shipping costs have just gone up again. I know it stinks, that's why from January 15th-25th you can take 15% off your order with the code "STINKY" in my etsy shop

... it still stinks

    Beat Black is a handmade jewelry (and other stuff) business created by myself, Sarah Norton, and run out of my apartment in downtown Toronto.

    I've worked with a variety of different mediums over the years but during these last few its been all about polymer clay. I mostly try to use this blog to showcase the craft in a 'behind the scenes' kind of way. I also like to show off other artists original work that inspires as well as listing any giveaways and discounts.
