Introduction

Hey there, guys! How's it going? In today's video, I was inspired by a fellow YouTube artist, Jazza. You've probably heard of him and his amazing videos. He recently created some detailed illustrations using emojis as inspiration, and I thought it was a pretty fun idea. So, in this video, I decided to take three random emojis, mash them together, and turn them into unique and fun emblem designs.

About the Inspiration

Before we dive into the emblem designs, I want to take a moment to talk about the artist who inspired this project - Jazza. If you haven't already seen his content, I highly recommend checking out his YouTube channel. His videos are a lot of fun, and I have sunk many hours into watching them. Now, let's get started with our own emblem designs!

Selecting Random Emojis

To kick off the project, we need to find some random emojis to work with. I decided to use a random emoji generator online. This tool allows us to select a specific number of emojis and even choose certain criteria for our selection. For example, I made sure that at least one of the emojis included in each set was either a person or an animal. This would give us more creative flexibility when designing the emblems.

Designing the First Emblem: Salty Pear

The first set of emojis we received from the generator consisted of a pear, some popcorn, and a heart. Instantly, the idea of turning the pear into a character for the emblem popped into my mind. I thought it would be funny to use the heart as glasses for this pear character. As for the popcorn, I wasn't initially sure how to incorporate it, but then the idea of the pear character sitting in a box with popcorn spilling out came to me. This would create a whimsical and playful design. Using Procreate on my iPad Pro, I started illustrating the character. Once the illustration was complete, I took it into Illustrator to add some text and create a name for the emblem. I decided to go with "Salty Pear" because of the character's expression and the popcorn element.

Designing the Second Emblem: Hellcat

Moving on to the second set of emojis, we were given a skull, a black drop, and a cat. I instantly knew that this design would have a darker aesthetic compared to the previous one. I started by drawing the base of the cat and then overlaying it with the cat skull. By cutting the illustrations in half and matching them up, I created a half skull, half-formed cat appearance. To add a touch of grittiness to the design, I incorporated stretch marks into the fur. As for the black drop, I was initially unsure about how to include it, but then the idea of the cat emerging from a manhole, almost like a portal to hell, came to me. And that's when I decided to name the emblem "Hellcat." I chose a font that suited the theme and created the effect of the cat emerging from the manhole using the design elements.

Designing the Third Emblem: Morning Chicken

For the final set of emojis, we were given an unhappy chicken, leaves, and some tears. The sad chicken became the obvious focus of this design. I wanted to tell a story with the leaves, so instead of capping off the bottom of the head as originally planned, I changed their placement. I made it look as if the chicken was holding the leaves in its beak. The color of the leaves suggested a connection to fall or autumn, so I decided that the chicken was sad and mourning the loss of its turkey friends during the Thanksgiving period. I added tears rolling down the chicken's cheeks to emphasize its sorrow. The final touch was to create a name for this emblem, and I settled on "Morning Chicken," as it represents both the morning period and the chicken's emotional state.

Comparing and Analyzing the Emblem Designs

Now that we have completed all three emblem designs, let's take a moment to compare and analyze them. Each design has its own unique look and story based on the random emojis we were given. The Salty Pear design is whimsical and fun, with the pear character wearing heart-shaped glasses and surrounded by popcorn. The Hellcat design has a gritty and darker aesthetic, with the cat skull emerging from a manhole. The Morning Chicken design carries a hint of sadness and mourning, with the chicken holding leaves in its beak to represent the fall season. All three designs showcase the versatility of using emojis as inspiration.

Sharing Personal Favorites

Out of the three emblem designs, I must say my personal favorite is the Hellcat design. I love the gritty aesthetic and the concept of a half skull, half-formed cat. However, each design has its own charm and appeal, and I'd love to hear what your favorite is. Let me know in the comments below!

Conclusion

In conclusion, this project was a lot of fun. Taking random emojis and turning them into unique emblem designs allowed for creativity and imagination to run wild. I highly recommend trying this out for yourself if you have the means to do so. It's a great exercise in design and storytelling.
