be creative!!
Additional Details for the question:
I'm a student designer, and I'm trying to create a name and logo, for myself, so I can create stationary and other promotional items.
...but, I'm stuck on what name to use.
My name is Cinique LeNoir, which is pretty unusual, so it would stand out, but I'm not sure how to present that visual. Also, I usually go by two alternating names, when I create art...either by orangeslice, or just LeNoir.
I thought of using Norange, or Norenge, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. It can be difficult to pronounce. I've also considered other ways of combining the names: Black Orange, Orange Noir, and some others...I haven't come up with anything that I'm completely happy with.
Maybe I'm just overthinking all of this. What's your opinion on the names I have, so far? ...and what suggestions can you give, for creating a personal logo.
I've looked at a lot of other letterheads for reference, and read some online tips, but I'd like to compile some opinions that directly relate to me.
For background: I'm a writer, designer, musician. I do a bit of freehand, and I'm interested in film-making. I don't have a big portfolio (and no public work; I'm in the process of building on this), but my style could be described as "corporate". I like to do "clean" work, and I lean towards minimalism, or faux chaos. My music is either folk, or electronic (depending on the name I use). I also dress casual, and I tend to like earth tones. I'm a fairly quiet person.
So, overall I want a name and logo that shows this sort of personality.
