Influence / Pen Zen / Logo Design / Idea 16520
gathering of zen pens
Project Complete!
Pen Zen: The Art of Organization. It’s logo time – who can help?! have at it quirks!
RECAP:
This is less a “dispenser” and more of a piece of functional art.
Soft silicone tentacles grip any pencil, pen, or similar object. This holder allows for random access of any instrument you would like to use. The “dispenser” will work in any orientation: hung on a wall, placed flat on a desk, or standing up.
For drama, lighting could be incorporated and will allow the tentacles to glow.
To illustrate the concept, I rendered the design with a polished aluminum holder, but it could be any material. I envision various sizes and shapes, or the ability to join units together for long blocks, or large square, etc. Or the tentacle holder could be flexible, allowing the owner to create their own freeform sculpture.
This device can also hold business cards, an iPod or iPhone, a deck of Post-Its, or pretty much anything that would fit in the slot.
The fingers are very flexible and will not harm any surface. The tentacles could be molded in any color, or you could purchase different color inserts.

Show AllI like the swirl, and love the colors. Nice work!
The circle works for me.
It visually suggests an organized group of pens.
Without the circle it's just a group of pens.
think vertical
not sure I understand & I'm out of submission opportunities at this point, sadly.
thanks guys. I'll submit another with scaled text and minus the swirl. appreciate the feedback.
I like it... the swirl doesn't complement the design though... perhaps in the opposite way... and tilted at 45deg... might look interesting.
Nice.
I feel that the pen zen words may be a bit out of scale with the rest of the design. Perhaps slightly smaller?
