The Taco Spot logo by J Fletcher Design (Charleston, SC): Jay Fletcher (creative director/art director/designer); jfletcherdesign.com
“This project was actually a rare instance where I reached out to the client rather than the client reaching out to me. I’d been a fan of the Taco Spot’s food for quite some time. I gradually came to know the owners, and eventually I put out the idea of helping them with a new logo. At first, I figured I’d avoid using a taco altogether—but the winning idea immediately presented itself and seemed too obvious to ignore. I often feel like the best ideas can be so obvious that you’ll accidentally mistake them for being boring if you’re not careful.” —Jay Fletcher
