Messing with Logos

I found this cool image when researching the Weimar Republic. During the brief golden age of the Weimar Republic there was a massive cultural revival in Germany. This included innovative street theatre, a cabaret scene, jazz, architecture and film. This symbol is also the flag for the city of Frankfort. I liked the red background, the curved bottom that looks like a coat of arms, and I especially like the abstracted eagle.




Eagles have wings, and Angels have wings too. Which brought us to this. I tried to use the style of the wings for her hair.



That was a fine start, but the wings didn't look long enough, and the end wings looked too thick. Which brought us to here.



Getting there, but needed something like this other cool Wiemar Republic symbol.



Obviously what it needed was hops. I tried to create hops in the same style as the eagle above. And here is where we are now.



The lines in the bottom of the skirt were just there to fill in the large expanse of whiteness. I just replaced the meaningless lines with a 13.



We still need to clean it up some more. What do you think?
