Purple Tigress Logo Designs

I've been busy designing myself a 'brand logo' in the name of Purple Tigress, these are the more refined variants.
The Purple Tigress is a combination of my favourite colour -Purple, animal -Tigers, and drawing subjects -Dragons, all rolled into one creature to represent myself in the world of online and business identities.






My favourite of the logos so far is the second one, but it may not be entirely suitable for scaling down, which is why I was experimenting with a more graphical style. I think the fire-breathing tiger logo has the potential to be the most successful, provided I tweak it enough to be recognizable in small sizes, and appealing enough to be memorable.

Here I am

My first post in my first blog. It is a bit overwhelming because I barely know how to use anything here.
I will start with an introduction then, shall I?

My name is Jasmine Smalley, (Purple Tigress is my artist/brand name)
I'm 20 and am currently attending Curtin University(Western Australia), majoring in Illustration Design. 
My favourite animals are tigers, and my favourite colour is purple.
My passion is for animals and art, I have been drawing animals since I was a little girl, I love being around them.
Most of my artworks now though are fantasy themed, creating my own takes on various fantasy beasts and creating my own, even. I'm an imaginative person who loves to tell stories through my artwork, on that thread of thought I should probably mention that I plan to get into the Graphic Novel and/or Story-boarding industries, sometime, in the near- or distant future. I personally would prefer the near future.
As part of my portfolio unit, I am creating a few online profiles in various social media, so right now they are blank and bare bones until I get around to styling them.
For now though, you can visit my Deviantart profile to see my gallery http://purpletigress.deviantart.com/
