The juice was from a few regions of Spain, giving me no specific town or origin to pull visuals from. I then looked at Spain as a country for inspiration. The romantic culture and landscape stood out to me the most, so I ran with that. The name I came up with, Besar, means "kiss"- a literal relationship to the Spanish romantic culture. The design was drawn from the famous Spanish dance, the flamenco. In this dance women usually wear red dresses that flow organically as they move. There's several layers to these dresses, since I didn't want a bottle with simply a woman dancing on it, I used these layers as a design element. The layers also began to resemble Spain's landscape. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_02.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_02_o.jpg" data-mid="5011300" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_03.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_03_o.jpg" data-mid="5011304" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_01.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_01_o.jpg" data-mid="5011267" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_04.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/1006764/Besar_04_o.jpg" data-mid="5011308" border="0" align="left"/> CREATIVE DIRECTOR / DESIGN - Will Hays CLIENT  - Let's Wine http://www.okwill.com/Bellevue-Cosmetic-Center http://www.okwill.com/following/okwill.com/Bellevue-Cosmetic-Center Sun, 10 Oct 2010 19:17:19 +0000 Ok Will 691879 Owner Dr. Diane Chiu wanted this new brand to have a medical professional look with a spa feel.

The logo represents an aerial view of the two groups meeting. Each solid circle represents either an art or robotics graduate student at a meeting represented by the larger circle. The legs of the R represent these two different disciplines. Rossum's main focus was to educate and inspire the public to create their own robotic art. This is represented with the pattern, showing the spin-off ripple effect of creativity. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_01.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_01_o.jpg" data-mid="3134646" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_02.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_02_o.jpg" data-mid="3134649" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_03.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_03_o.jpg" data-mid="3134650" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_04.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_04_o.jpg" data-mid="3134651" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_05.jpg" width="670" height="445" width_o="670" height_o="445" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/20954/669968/ross_05_o.jpg" data-mid="3134653" border="0" align="left"/> CREATIVE DIRECTOR / DESIGN - Will Hays CLIENT  - Carnegie Mellon MFA & MS students
