I just finished a few sketches for a logo for someone who is in the photovoltaic cell business. This is my second project involving putting hands, arms, etc., on a thing (the first was "Puzzie" for the Jordan Ralls Foundation), and apparently there may be another one in the works soon. I find it interesting that people are really into this anthropomorphic inanimate object idea. Now, I'm not down on those who like it- I mean, for me a job's a job, and if that's what someone would like, and they need an artist to get it out for them, I will by all means do it. I'm just kind of amused at the little characters that come out of these kind of requests. Cool, friendly, innocent, angry... you can make these little guys represent anything that the person wants you to feel about this object and its association with their business.
My two-and-a-half year old son watched me pen the new characters and pointed out what each one was. "He's happy!" "He's funny!" "He's cool!" (The last to the one with sunglasses). I guess that means I did a good job. Maybe I'll be able to post it when the client decides which one to go with.
