Hound Logo
July, 28 2008
I developed this logo for a business who was developing an internal application that would track client information. This company later decided to shelve the project, but I still liked the logo. Check it out.
Bowerbird & Company
July, 25 2008
“Adriel Ricardo suprised me with first thoroughly researching companies similar to mine. He brought to the table a knowledge and understanding of what made those companies successful and helped me see where we should begin in order to stand apart from the mainstream and take a more contemporary approach. His opinions and suggestions were very well thought out, focused, and heading in the direction I had hoped for. From the start he had a good handle on my customer base, the market I was reaching, had a strong belief in my products and the message I was trying to get across.”
Ali Hall, Bowerbird & Company™
RitmoBello
July, 24 2008
“When I first consulted Adriel Ricardo about a new design for my website, Ritmo Bello, he took the time to really understand my goals. As an online resource for San Diego salsa and latin dancing, I needed an innovative design to match the new direction that I feel salsa and latin dancing is taking in San Diego. Not only did Adriel Ricardo’s work exceed my expectations in terms of a bold design, it’s also allowed my website to become a professional tool for connecting with other dance professionals worldwide.”

July, 22 2008
I’m proud to announce that I have been contracted to redevelop The Compliance Group’s (TCG) website. I have been fortunate enough to work closely with Annemaria Allen, the President of TCG, to develop a truly interactice resource for the mortgage industry. With a tentative release date of July 25th, the site is near completion. I’ll be sure to post links and some screen shots once the site goes live.
The Mortgage Licensing Group, Inc.
“Working with Adriel has been a great experience. As most business owners can attest, we don’t always know how to communicate our ideas onto the web. Adriel has been there every step of the way to explain our options and how to best achieve our goals. He’s open to suggestions and easily accessible. He has become an integral part of our team and we truly appreciate that.”

Tumbleweeds Logo
July, 17 2008
Tumbleweeds is the consignment company of a friend of mine. Since her store sells equestrian themed items, she wanted her logo to have a western style look with out going as far as incorporating an actual “tumbleweed”. We had fun developing the logo and I am pleased with the outcome.
The Compliance Group, Inc. Logo
The Compliance Group, Inc. is a company I’ve worked extensively with over the past 5 years. I have had a huge hand in developing their overall market presence, including their logo. The logo is meant to present their cooperation with mortgage lenders and brokers and government regulators. The logotype and image are interchangeable and can easily be applied to all forms of promotion. We were quite pleased with the outcome. Their logo has was intended to be an icon of their company and it has grown to that status.
Pene Largo Beer Logo
A friend of mine is dabbling with brewing and I thought for his 30th birthday that I would design a label for his beer. He really liked it.
Honey Baby Logo
Honey Baby was a company that a good friend was looking to develop early 2008. I was more than happy to help her brand her company. The business was to sell beeswax based eco-friendly candles made specifically for expecting and recent mothers. Unfortunately, the business has taken a new direction and will be developing a new look of which I will still be helping to develop. More news to come! In the meanwhile, here’s the original logo.
Hammerhead General Contractors Logo
One of my first logos was the one developed for Hammerhead General Contractors. There were so many angles you can take with incorporating animals into a logo. After a review of a few designs, the owner decided on the following. I’m glad, it ended being my favorite of the bunch =).
Elite Body Logo
One of my more recent web designs required me to work closely with the owner of the business when designing his logo. He had a very distinct look he was going for - something edgy and tough. Enrique was a pleasure to work with and I encourage anyone seeking a body bootcamp experience, to look him up at http://www.elitebodynow; he is a true professional.
Chesapeake Logo
I noticed the logo for a local fishing company that I thought could use a little work. Here is what I came up with.
Bella’s Fine Lingerie Logo
About a year ago I was approached by a good friend to design and develop a website for her fledgling business - Bella’s Fine Lingerie. I took it as a great opportunity to design a softer more elegant “look”. She was quite happy with the finished product. Her business has shot off and was ranked in the top five lingerie boutiques in all of San Diego! Make sure to visit her online at http://www.bellaslingerie.com.
Belenita Logo
Who’s mom isn’t a great cook? Well as many would say, my mom is the best! About a year or so ago, I proposed to my mom that she pursue a side business bottling and selling some of her famous salsas - especially her salsa verde. I took it upon myself to create a nice little logo to go with her venture. Here it is. I hope you like it - she did. Unfortunately, nothing became of the business. If you’d like to incorporate a similar design into your work let me know. We can work something out.
Gluten Free Living

I’m proud to announce that I have been contracted to develop GFreeLiving.com - a resource for gluten free living. The site will be developed to provide a nationwide guide of restaurants, recipes, and products that cater to those affected with celiac disease and other forms of gluten intolerance. It will be a highly dynamic site, with built-in feedback mechanisms for enhanced interaction.
