Here is a high-speed playback of me playing around with an logo idea. I started with a honeybee circle-dance shape and ended up with a modification of an existing star logo. You'll really see me get hung up on the star a handful of times. No wonder I eventually went back to it.
This is not the start, it is not the end. Just a nougaty 3 hour middle piece of design development on a project I am coordinating with on a really cool design firm that I am not sure if I can mention yet. You will see me jump between AutoCad, SketchUp, Illustrator and of course good old analog pen and paper - all my usual suspects for this type of work.
