Design for a Box Lid
« on: August 22, 2013, 12:00:07 am »
I work for an insurance company called American Income Life. Our company logo is a circle with AIL in the middle. I tried this as my first attempt for a box lid design. I think I want to redo it and make the AIL done all in one wood color, maybe a white wood with the circle being the 2 darker colors.

Not a bad idea, I also think it would show up better with a solid colored wood for the letters.  Let us know how it turns out - you may even get a couple of suggestions from the pattern makers herein.

That's nice, like the way the letters are different colors.

I agree Troy it would look better with the lettering one color and the box lid another.  But great idea though.

Thanks for the comments. When I get time I will remake it with white looking letters. I will show it and then the logo that I got the idea from. I just need time to get the wood and make this now.

don't think this color scheme is bad, but the letters might come out more with the other idea.
think this one looks nice.
