Our winner Lydia Shannon has generously allowed us to post the process of creating her logo/identity. This will be a great way to see an entire process from soup to nuts. We’ll share her questionnaire, inspiration board, initial sketches, first round, revisions and final identity. You can even vote on your favorites, though the ultimate decision will be with Lydia.
Keep checking back to see how we create an identity, it may even give you some ideas of your own.

After very, very careful tallying this weekend, we have the winner of our first ever Identity Kitchen Scholarship. CONGRATULATIONS, Lydia Shannon. She had 324 comments/votes…wow! Her enthusiasm was enough to win unprompted votes from members of my own family and dear friends. Lydia, we can’t wait to get started!
The five finalist were chosen because of their fine, fine work. You should be so proud of yourselves. As a big thank you for entering we would like to offer the remaining 4 finalists, Sherry Lu, Garret Davis, J’Lynn Mak and Cindee Bae any of our marketing or holiday card templates from Identity Cafe. Email me directly and let me know which one you are interested in.
