Eric Ransom's big idea…

gathering of zen pens

Project Complete!

Project Brief

Branding: Logo Design

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.

wanted to convey a group of pens held together and have a harmonized coloring to them with the name and zen like brush stroke.

    I 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.

      not sure I understand & I'm out of submission opportunities at this point, sadly.

    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?
