My personal favourite of the lot - this one is based on the simple concept of fluid...as in Black FLUID Poet.
For those who don't know, John's got an AMAZING beard, so it could be integrated into his branding.
Sometimes simple is better than complicated.
This one rides on the idea that no one is one-sided. Not just black, not just white. A bit of both.
Open your eyes to the possibilities. v. 1.0

Black Fluit Poet | Logos

John S. Blake, a.k.a. The Black Fluid Poet is an amazing individual from New Mexico, U.S.A. who I find has some interesting insights into life. His self-titled podcast (available wherever you listen to podcasts) is an amazing listen and I suggest everyone try it out. These are some speculative logos for a potential Black Fluid Poet brand.
