Maple Storm Logo
Brief from client
This is a personal logo, similar in theme to my Raiworks logo.
This particular idea came about while I was sketching some various maple leaves and lightning bolts because a Maple related logo was initially a separate concept from Raiworks (Maple is my last name) I mixed some of the sketches together to make this concept.
As with Raiworks this is to be applied to a design/entertainment art company that ranges from graphic design to motion graphics and texture art for 3D graphics.
This is by no means a final concept and is more exploratory then anything else. I have concerns about the various symbols and how they mix or don't mix, namely with colors since the maple leaf is eternally linked to red thanks to Canada and autumn colors in general.

Sorry, that's out fault. Canada loves that leaf. You also went and picked the one maple leaf colour that I can think of that isn't red but is still really well known - blue, from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I have never seen a maple leaf quite like this before though. It is interesting though, and I do like it. You are going to be thought to be Canadian with this logo. I don't think it is possible not to have a bit of that, it would be like if I made a logo with a bald eagle, people will think it is American, even if I colour it with purple stripes.
Might not be the worst thing though, depends on where this logo will be shown. Extra points if you live in Canada already though, as that will make this easier on yourself.
Also, the logo is solid. Only colour isn't getting a thumbs up, because this really does look like the hockey team's colours.
