    If anyone can go further back in time than this one, then drinks are on me...

    Year: 1986 ( I was 16)
    Project: Coltham Ltd Corproate Identity.

    After dropping out of school I went on a YTS scheme at HowleChapmanRaymer in Birmingham. I was the studio junior. We got asked to devise a logo and I was encouraged to put some ideas forward. They picked mine. This is the logo, a little bit evolved from what I did originally. I hand drew it in rotring ink on CS2 board. It was originally a C where one element was invisible, the next was a keyline edge, the next was a 50% tint and the last one was a solid... so it built as it progressed round the circle.

    Admittedly its changed a little bit from when I did it, but this is essentially my logo, still alive and well 23 years later!
