The blog of freelance designer and
illustrator Mike Harrison
Here I present my new logo/identity. I had my old one for many years, I really liked it and it served me very well but i’ve been craving a change for a good few months now and finally landed on something I like.
I wanted something more organic, personal and unique and a little more ‘arty’. It’s in the style of a signature I drew of my alias ‘Destill’, which was then tweaked in illustrator.
With this identity change comes some other changes for myself as an artist/illustrator as I will be trying some completely new things which I hope to share soon!

My contribution to the Creative Cards project, the ace of diamonds. Something more minimal from me and I think it’s my first 100% hand drawn illustration. The pencils need to come out more often as it was good to get away from the computer and do some sketching!

I’m currently in the process of designing Phil Dunne’s new identity and website, we’ve just finished the identity part and here it is. It’s based on his signature so I tried to stay true to his handwriting style whilst giving it a digital edge.
