You Must Be Patient With True Detective and Branding Ideas

I haven't been very good at updating this whole blog thing as of late. With all the great TV shows on-air... True Detective has got to be the most interesting snooze on-air right now, and with Shameless back, well my Sunday nights are booked.

For the past several weeks, I have been working on marketing myself, coding my own website in CSS3 and HTML5. But I have been having some trouble branding myself. What do you think a good name for my business should be? I have it narrowed down to anything with my initials really. Here is a logo I built:

Logo with transparent initials.

The logo is transparent through the initials to show off anything in the background. Here is an example of the logo with a background image:

Kind of like the bat signal?

The good news is I finished my course at ed2go.com on Introduction to CSS3 and HTML5. I am looking forward to my next course, Intermediate CSS3 and HTML5 starting in mid-February.

As for my branding, I am having trouble coming up with a name. Here are some quick mockups I created in GIMP's logo creation feature. I have tried "gabriel ohh designs:"

Alien glow example.

Here is "g-ohh designs:"

Glowing hot example.

Here is "gohh designs:"

Neon example.

I am not really sold on either, just trying to throw ideas out until I find something that sticks.

Back to True Detective, the story moves at a snail's pace. Back when I was in Film Studies, I learned to call a slow movie, "patient." Well you have to be patient with True Detective. The next time I dress up for an interview, or court appearance, I am taking a cue from Rust's wardrobe. Gotta love the sleazy style, makes you want to read Nietzsche and Camus again. Also, the opening credits to the show have got to be the best I have seen on television. Check them out:
