Harris Roberts' 50 Daily Logo Challenge!!!

Hi hi,

A friend of mine suggested to me do try and do the '50 Daily Logo Challenge' where I would be emailed prompts of the type of logo I should be designing, as well as some suggested 'company names' to alongside them.

I'd felt this is a great challenge and I am curious as to what prompts there may be. I would suspect most of the designs I am going to make are going to be simple and just an initial design being I would only have one day to produce them.

Even if this challenge wasn't challenging enough... I've also challenged myself to attempt a 'hand-sketch' version first before designing a photoshop/illustrator version. I know this sounds absurd! Shouldn't I be sketching by hand for initial designs first already? What kind of designer am I that I don't do that to begin with?! Well, to be honest over the last few years of designing I've slowly steered away from sketching as I felt I'd always rushed this process and wanted to get back onto the computer to design, which made the sketches I'd drew impossible to decipher on what I was trying to get at, as well as I tended not to look at it when it came to being a reference point on what my design should've looked like, making the end product look nothing like the sketch.

However! This time round for this challenge, I am going to sketch to the best of my ability and design a photoshop/illustrator version that would have many similarities to that sketch!

Hope this goes well and thank you for your time in checking these out!
