ABOUT:
I am an award winning American art director and graphic designer specializing in logo and visual identity design, branding, social marketing, illustration, and all manner of print design.
ATOMICvibe is the name of my art and design venture, and I define the name as the "a-HA!" moment of creative clarity. Like nuclear fusion, the ATOMICvibe is the point at which tiny ideas coalesce, and then explode into beautiful design.

An ATOMICvibe logo, glaze: a Boutique Doughnut Studio, has been nominated Logo of the Month, August 2011 at The Logo Mix, a source of inspiration for logo designers worldwide.
It's very flattering to receive this nomination, especially with such a glowing review of the logo:
Even if we've had a massive amount of great logo design posted on the Logo Mix Gallery this month, even if we've got a headache trying to sort out the top ten out of probably thirty great logos that were as good as our final picks, even if we considered expanding the top selection (in the end we decided not to do it) to incorporate more logo designs, the logo of the month of August 2011 detached itself easily, and there were no dubs about it. Check out our monthly top selection and get inspired!
It has everything! Great concept (well documented with images on flickr), an absolutely amazing execution and an awesome custom typeface to go with it. Glaze logo is a display of talent, perfect technique, a great care for every little detail, excellent color scheme and wonderful composition. Now, I've probably finished my superlatives here and still not said enough about the logo. It looks so great that I would really want to take a bite. So, point achieved there! Congrats atomicvibe, on an excellent logo design!
