Designing Logotypes I have always enjoied a lot. Here I have found one that I made for an event. The "goal" was to create something that represent a "computer".

So, here is how it looks ;-)

Aquí podrán ver como quedo ;-)

Design a symbol or associate an image to a town is something very usual to Donibane´s work.

By the way, Bakio is an small town locate on the Basque Coast. The sport there is the surf, so, a wave was the perfect symbol or image for this town.

"Uhintxo" was the name and here it is how it looked.

Another very special work.

The basque people have a place call "Txoko" where spent a lot of time (normally weekends) with friends and relatives. It is like a big kitchen with tables and everything that you need for cook and eat.

Of course a big "bodega" where we have wine and other "spiritual" drinks.

So, one day my friends told me "Donibane, why not create a logotype for our txoko".

And here it it.

For those who dont know... the basque are famouses all around the world becouse they are (and just to be) great sailors, and hunting whales was something that they just to do many years ago... So, in Terranova (Canada) there is a big basque hereditage... and there is where the best big whales lived.

Now you can imagine why the logotype is "like it is" ;-)

Be an artist and a designer and work with new technologies some times makes me be part of iniciatives like this.

Well, right now it is not only an iniciative... but it was seven years ago when I started on it.

What is Internet&Euskadi Association?
Basque Country is call in basque "Euskadi", so, as you can imagine, is the internet association for all the basque people.

It does many different things, like workshops, projects like "Buber awards" for the best basque websites, and the most important "It get close the new technologies to the basque society".

What does a designer for an association?
This is a great question. And almost does everything that it is require.
Organice a congress, design a flying banner, design a logotype, donate a project like "Donearte", prepare a presentation...

What does an association for a designer?
Be part of this association makes me be part of the new technologies, learn a lot with the people, be alert for the change... talking about art and technology... and of course, spent a lot of hours for it ;-)

How can be part of the Internet&Euskadi Association?
It is quite easy. You just have to go to the blog:

So, be free to visite our blog and be part of our association ;-)

If something wanted to be Donibane in his life, was an illustrator.

He just drawed for making comics, or just for had fun. "When I was young my school books were always full of illustrations all around".

"Now, with the computer is the same, the only difference is that my books keep very inmaculate... well, not all of them".

Here are some examples of Donibane´s illustrations.

During this last 20 years Donibane has done around a hundred logotypes. But as he always says, "there are no one similar to another".

Here he shows an example of some of them.
