How COOL is this logo design?!?!?
Hmmmmm...... what can I do with my old tools....... ummmmm..... hello?? Make a totally radical & functional logo/bar sign out of it! Sheesh, people are so stinkin' creative.
'Atelier Mecanic’ or Mechanical Workshop, in English, is a bar in the Old Town of Bucharest, Romania. This original design makes me appreciate art & design in so many ways. Who needs a computer to design when you have old tools sitting around!
One valued lesson I learned in design school was that you do not need a fancy computer to create art. The tools are your hands & the creativity is your mind.
One of my design professors beat this lesson into us. I should know first hand because one evening during a critique, I had my design pinned to the wall to discuss. It was my turn to discuss my design that was supposed to be grungy, distressed looking. My professor asked, what filters or effects I used to create this effect, so I told him photoshop specifics. He took my work off the wall, crumpled it, opened it back up & rubbed it face down on our classrooms concrete floor.
I.Was. Shocked. Shocked beyond belief!! I thought WOAH..... who the h*ll is this guy ruining my hard work. Then he professed how sick he was of students relying on "the computer" to create the design. In hindsight, I knew that moment would seriously teach me a lesson.
More detail shots of this very cool, so far away bar, that I would LOVE to visit one day!
