Thomas K. Murray Esq., a sole practitioner, wanted a logo designed for his practice. An attorney specializing in probate, estate and trust law, he is also a creative artist. Although he appreciated the research I did about his family name and the original idea of using some traditional Irish symbols, he got inspired by looking at some images online and instead wanted “an animal (not a shark), more of a surfer-style font and lots of negative space.” Creating this was one of the more unusual logo assignments I’ve completed, painting the image it before taking it into Adobe Illustrator and cleaning up the lines. It went in a direction that surprised me, but it looks cool, doesn’t it?
