This logo/icon development is for a computer program developed by Chris Wailes, a graduate student at Indiana University.  The program is an add-on for Ruby, thus the gem and color concepts. 
Original design sketch, pulling inspiration from gems, jewelry and illustrations by Alex Konahin.
Vector rendering of the sketch, with basic gradients for coloring.
The final colorization and cropping for the logo design.
Logo with the wordmark.  Since this is a computer program, the logo may be used alone as an icon or in this format for advertising for the product.
