Logos!!!!

These are my logos for the Hotel, Salon and Restaurant.

Progress: Obviously, I have made headway on logos. I just like Photoshop ok? =)

Also, I see want I want done in my head; I just haven't made it to AutoCad to fulfill my thoughts.

Problems: I'm having problems deciding where I want my Spa as well as how I want to add a wow factor to each room. I will do some brainstorming this weekend.

Plans: My plans are to brainstorm and get going on the actual plans!

Week 5!

Today I'm focusing on the design of my boards, the fonts I'm going to use for the restaurant name and finding more inspiration for a logo. We’ll see what happens. In the mean time, I like these pictures of a front desk and lobby area for the hotel...

So what do you think about these rooms!?!?!

I found these funky hotels at this site :

These designs blow my mind with how "out of the box" they are.. Crazy cool though.

I was just googling something for our sorority and found this awesome underwater sculpture. Just wanted to share it with everyone!

Inspiration & ideas are flowing!

So, after a weekend of thinking about my concept, I have solidified some ideas at this point. First of all, I believe I have decided to go for the more edgy, modern textiles and materials. Secondly, my RPS idea has been a back and forth battle with how to name the hotel, restaurant and spa, should I separate the names, make it all the same etc. Finally (after talking to my mom, the best advice giver ever!) she helped me decide on a direction.

Drum roll please....

Rock Paper Scissors Resort & Spa

My thought process was to use Rock for the Restaurant, Paper for the Hotel and Scissors for the salon and spa. Each room would have their separate themes but all still come together as a central theme. People (theoretically) would maybe say, "I'm staying at the Rock Hotel" or " I got my hair done at Scissors Salon," but it would all be under one name in telephone books, Internet and each area would answer the phones as a whole resort.

Ok, that may have been a little confusing so here are some inspirational pictures I have found to further explain.
