Alexander Becker provides ideation services, conceptual and technical consulting, as well as design and production services for print and web projects. Alexander Becker is the creative mind behind alter ego Lyrois. »
Finding a visualization for a name, an idea, or a concept, creating logotypes, signets, or whatever you like to call them, always opens the opportunity to explore new paths because, you know, the Lyrois vectors are frozen.
This is where and why I am formally offering to accept commissions for logos created in my now-signature styles.
Old-school logo geometries and clear, strong shapes, papercutting, exploring whitespace and silhouettes... everything in highly accurately drawn vectors -- if this sounds appealing to you, we'll have great times and glorious shapes to create.
The trick is to determine the symbols, find an appropriate representation for each one, hide them within a powerful shape, and forget about them for the legend to be forged.
Commissions start at € 2,000 and end with your and my satisfaction and vectors delivered.
Many versions are created, documented, and preserved; this is where passion, blood, sweat, and tears come into play --
Below is a selection of recent projects with links to backstories and making-ofs --
Imagine a Norseman; son of strong winds, also, a son of the sea. Badass with style and an edge, literally or not. Powerful, mean & nice, steely, but not too polished.
The Windson legend is elaborately packaged, visually legible if you want to, with every detail meaningful, yet powerful on its own, as an impressive shape. The result is essentially a combination of the symbols for Wind and Son. The metal effect is part of the deal, but there is nothing more pure than the papercutting style. I make every detail count, or eliminate it altogether. Talk about hyperinfusion of meaning -- in other words, you cannot over-interpret this logo.
The Lightning and Meteors sign for Alexander Becker Consulting is a non-typographical symbol, capturing and expressing vision and impact in an abstract business realm. The symbols were preselected: lightning and shooting stars, these are the tools and the means, while earth and space are the targets, so to speak.
A rotational ambigram, we want the graphic to look and read identical when turned upside down. This means, each letter has to contain the rotated version of its counterpart -- and vice versa.
From top-left with the ingredients highlighted clockwise. 3-0-p-r-o ... this is what we got and what we wanted to make into the final shape. While you don't need to see all the letters, they do define the whole thing in true form-follows-meaning style.
The Stars'Spring sky disk. A seal with an aggressive outer ring, an onion theory, some mythology, and lots of force-de-frappe.
