Scroll down your earlier sketches which you have made before making a Logo but it didn’t go well with the Client that doesn’t mean that it would not work in future for any other Client too. Search Google Images, Pinterest and related subjects according to your mood. Pick a color from there, a typeface from here, a shape there, a word, then see how could work together.

As you know inspiration can strike anywhere, anytime. Sketch something as it comes to you and then revisit it later to see how it might work within the parameters of your brief. If you have tried everything and still nothing comes to your mind then don’t get winced and relax your mind by getting a movie to watch, cook your favorite meal and have it, play games. You might get a sudden flash and it may work in your design.

 

As I said, there is not a fixed solution or way for the source of inspiration to get hit. It’s the way that you do or what you believe in. So go and help yourself and find a suitable way to act on.
