Basically my hope was to get the individual forms nailed down and make them more solid sketches, so I could then arrange them digitally to match the general idea of my original sketches of the entire logo. Considering that I was designing this while designing the covers and box set at the same time, I had to take into consideration how they would all work together in a cohesive fashion.Īfter many, many drafts on tons of tracing paper, trying to work out the respective nuances and character of each letter form, I eventually got to this sketch, which is a very rough, spaced-out layout.

I had a pretty clear idea from the start what I wanted it to look like, especially the overall shape and feel of it. Making it blue had always been my initial plan, and eventually everyone agreed it was the best choice.įull cover for part 2 / Illustration CollectionĪs near as I can tell, this is the very first sketch i made for the Rayearth logo-or at least the first sketch for the version that was eventually made. There were numerous discussions about what color the second box would be, and I tried every variation that everyone came up with.
