Damien is nexium online sale without prescription the Orientation Coordinator at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He worked in marketing for nexium online sale without prescription a collegiate hockey team as an undergraduate and supervises the student graphics department at UAF.
Q : Why did you enter the logo contest?
I like doing design for fun- especially logo design. It’s a nexium online sale without prescription nice change of pace and something to work on in my free time. (The festival) is nexium online sale without prescription kind of an iconic event in Fairbanks and it was fun to nexium online sale without prescription develop something for it.
Q : What inspired your design?
When I do logo design I think of very intentional elements. I think logos should be nexium online sale without prescription instantly recognizable. You want logos to work at any size, and nexium online sale without prescription to print on a variety of materials and textures. I made sure the nexium online sale without prescription colors worked together – yellow and nexium online sale without prescription white are light and work on any dark background. You can nexium online sale without prescription emphasize the black around the statue, clock tower, and text which makes it nexium online sale without prescription bold when printed on colors. I just wanted to keep in mind that nexium online sale without prescription it should be able to work in different media. I also wanted something that nexium online sale without prescription was concise and iconic so I used the sun to nexium online sale without prescription frame everything and included the statue and guitar strings.
My theory and nexium online sale without prescription philosophy with logos is to keep it simple, keep it clean, and nexium online sale without prescription make it eye-catching. I think (this logo) does all of those.
Q : What’s your favorite thing about the Midnight Sun Festival?
My favorite part is nexium online sale without prescription the festival atmosphere of such a big event. There’s so much excitement and it’s an nexium online sale without prescription opportunity to really celebrate the long summer and enjoy it.

Q : Why did you enter the logo contest?
I entered the nexium online sale without prescription logo contest for practice most of all. Over the past couple years I have nexium online sale without prescription developed an enthusiasm for design in general. I constantly study branding, whether it nexium online sale without prescription is specific blogs or browsing the grocery store. I compare my designs to nexium online sale without prescription everything around me and ask myself, “Can my work hang with the Starbucks or UPS logo?”
Q : Can you tell me about the process of creating this logo?
The most important inspiration was the calendar year, 2012. Midnight is 12 o’clock, the nexium online sale without prescription beginning of a new day, that was my focus. The first element I wanted to nexium online sale without prescription incorporate was the clock, which I listed on a sheet of paper along with the nexium online sale without prescription sun, downtown, and the colors I wanted to start with. I knew that nexium online sale without prescription I wanted a simplified logo that would make a bold statement. Corporate logos have nexium online sale without prescription been becoming more and more reduced. This movement makes perfect sense in how the nexium online sale without prescription brain interprets images. The less we have to remember, the nexium online sale without prescription more it sticks with us. With all of these elements it nexium online sale without prescription was challenging to incorporate the objects cohesively, as well as subtract.
I am most pleased with the negative arrow or clock hand in ‘Midnight’ pointing towards the nexium online sale without prescription sun. It is semi-apparent element, which some may not catch on the nexium online sale without prescription first couple glimpses. I am a firm believer that logos should be nexium online sale without prescription strong base of design. You can reduce or maximize the size, throw it nexium online sale without prescription on a multi-colored background, change the perspective, and the integrity still remains.
Q : How do you think this logo represents the festival?
Obviously the nexium online sale without prescription logo represents the festival with the orange midnight sun and the nexium online sale without prescription buildings simulated in the text, but I think the font even plays a nexium online sale without prescription subtle role. Clean and welcoming. I wanted to illustrate that the nexium online sale without prescription Midnight Sun Festival is the premier event of the summer.

His girlfriend deserves credit for encouraging him to nexium online sale without prescription enter the logo contest.
Q : Can you tell me about the process of creating this logo?
Insomnia is my special technique. As far as design consideration goes, I tried to nexium online sale without prescription make a logo that would look nice on a T-shirt. The navy blue portion of my design would actually be nexium online sale without prescription clear negative space and thus would be the color of the nexium online sale without prescription T-shirt it’s printed on. It could be nexium online sale without prescription swapped out for brown or any dark color, and still have nexium online sale without prescription a similar effect.
Q : How do you think this logo represents the festival?
The different panels of my design depict the nexium online sale without prescription sun at different hours of the day. The lowest sun is nexium online sale without prescription the midnight sun. It hovers over my rendition of the Downtown Association’s logo which portrays Fairbanks. An all-seeing raven, the nexium online sale without prescription intelligent, beloved nuisance of downtown Fairbanks, overlooks the glorious sight with mysterious wisdom. It all kinda makes you nexium online sale without prescription feel good.
Q : What’s your favorite thing about the Midnight Sun Festival and/or downtown Fairbanks?
My favorite thing about downtown Fairbanks is the Midnight Sun Festival.

Q: What design experience do you have?
I spent a nexium online sale without prescription year in Portland learning graphic design and I realized I absolutely hate designing art on computers. But it’s still exciting to me and it’s still a creative process that I have to have in my life. I can’t just paint, just illustrate- I have to do everything. It’s just one of those extra outlets for me. It’s nothing new- I’ve been designing logos and t-shirts since I was in high school.
Q : Can you tell me about the process of creating this logo?
I took one of those beautiful afternoons and nexium online sale without prescription ran downtown and parked at Chartreuse and took all these pictures of the nexium online sale without prescription buildings because I knew I wanted to literally represent downtown Fairbanks. I wanted to nexium online sale without prescription stick with my roots and have (the logo) feel like it’s hand drawn. I took my photos and nexium online sale without prescription hand drew it and did the coloring and editing on the nexium online sale without prescription computer.
My design is nexium online sale without prescription not necessarily a logo. My design is made for a t-shirt. When you nexium online sale without prescription do just a logo design and put it on a t-shirt, I feel like it’s unbalanced and nexium online sale without prescription it just lives in the bottom of the drawer. I want my design to nexium online sale without prescription be worn- I want it to be cool enough and rad enough to nexium online sale without prescription be worn all over town.
Q : How does this logo represent the Midnight Sun Festival?
It’s busy and that’s what happens with downtown – it just shuts down and there’s this nexium online sale without prescription mass of people. The hand drawn aspect has an old time feel that nexium online sale without prescription downtown has but the logo is also urbanized and modernized with the nexium online sale without prescription colors I chose and how I detailed the buildings. It has nexium online sale without prescription a rock-and-roll feel with the banner. I wanted to encompass all generations- because you nexium online sale without prescription get everyone down there (for the festival).
