Davao City's coffe hang-out, Chicco de Caffe establish a contest regarding their logo to be used. In line with this, Angel from Monster Express, asked me if I would like to join in the said competition. Obviously, i'm up to things related to graphics and logo making, so I decided to take part on it. I'm not making my official entry instead I affiliated my entry with the entry of Angel, in short, the logo I made would be under her name, knowing that she is a student of Davao, and its almost impossible for me to go to Davao just to witnessed the event. So I decided to affiliate with her.

Moving on, the final output of the logo I made above. Well, I can't think of a better idea, instead I decided to go with the flow, whatever I can think of, knowing that Chicco de Caffe is an Italian coffee shop, so what I did was to do the basic colors of Italy's flag, as stated in the mechanics. Then, off to the 3-hour creation in the Photoshop.

The 3-hour logo making made my ideas go dry. I can't think of a better idea except the fact that I want the logo to be more on a retro approach. Basically, involving the fonts, Jane Austen, and MotterFemD, while doing my rounds with the paths , marquee tool, and gradient mappings. What I did first was to apply the color scheme involving the colors of the Italian flag. In line with the retro approach of my logo, I decided to make a tampered sticker effect, to emphasize the words inside, while balancing it with the colors outside, which serves as the secondary background to balance the view of the viewers while noticing the centered logo. So, I guess its not too bad, making me satisfied for this day, thanks to pen tool, paths, marquee, and gradient effects.

Well, whatever happens, Goodluck to us! Oh, and don't forget visiting Angel's blog.
