Logo Design for Jazz Musician Matthew Tenedero

Logo design for jazz musician Matthew Zachary Tenedero (MZT). I was tasked with combining his initials with the palm leaves of St. Christopher. Beginning by listing keywords and initial ideas, I played with replacing the neck of a guitar to make it appear as if the leaves were sprouting from the instrument itself. Experimenting with the letters of his initials, my goal was to simplify the image by taking out all unnecessary elements and uniting what was left to create the final logo.

The client (Matthew) provided this image of St. Christopher armed with a staff decorated with palm leaves as inspiration for his logo.
