Today, I wanted to mess around and make a “number nine” logo. It sounded like a fun little project. I didn’t really have any specific design in mind, so I started by just doodling some stuff on paper. You know, just to get the creative juices flowing.

After a few scribbles, I thought it might be cool to see what other people have done. So, I went online and looked up some “number nine” logos. There were tons of them! Some were really simple, just the number itself in a fancy font. Others were more abstract, with the “9” shape incorporated into some kind of symbol. It was interesting to see the variety.
Feeling a bit more inspired, I decided to try a few different styles myself. First, I played around with fonts. I tried a bold, blocky font for a strong look, and then a more elegant, cursive font for something a bit softer. I even tried mixing two fonts together, which actually looked pretty neat.
- Bold font: Made the “9” look really solid and impactful.
- Cursive font: Gave it a more flowing, artistic feel.
- Mixed fonts: This was a fun experiment and turned out surprisingly well.
Next, I started thinking about colors. I wanted something that would pop, so I tried some bright, vibrant colors like red and blue. Then I tried some more muted tones, like gray and dark green, just to see how they looked. In the end, I decided to stick with a classic black and white, as it seemed the most versatile.
- Bright colors: Definitely eye-catching, but maybe a bit too much for what I wanted.
- Muted colors: These were okay, but they didn’t really stand out.
- Black and white: Simple, clean, and looked good in different sizes.
After messing with fonts and colors, I started playing with the shape of the “9” itself. I stretched it out, squished it, and even flipped it upside down. I tried adding some extra lines and curves to make it more unique. Some of these experiments looked pretty terrible, but a few actually turned out okay.
Finally
I picked my favorite design and made a few final tweaks. I adjusted the spacing, made sure the lines were smooth, and played with the size a bit. And there it was, my very own “number nine” logo! It wasn’t perfect, but I was pretty happy with it. It was a fun little exercise, and I learned a few things along the way. Like, it’s always a good idea to look at what others have done before you start, and don’t be afraid to try out different things, even if they seem a bit crazy at first. It was worth it. Maybe I’ll try making a “number ten” logo next time! Who knows.
