Blissfully unaware. That’s what I’d like to call it. Not ignorant, not naïve, just unaware. I’ve been a designer for a lot of years and have had my work online since 2004, so I know the risks. Or, so I thought. It really wasn’t until the recent Logogarden.com debacle where I had 21 logo designs pinched, that this problem reared its ugly head. My work has been stolen – a lot.
If you’re into logo design there’s a new book out that you need to get your hands on. I just got my copy this week. It’s Smashing Logo Design by Gareth Hardy.
Not only is the volume full of some of the latest and greatest work from contemporary logo designers from around the world, it is also a great resource on everything from sketching and concept development, to software tips and business development.
Contributing writer for the first edition of LogoNest, an inspirational collection of logo design culled from the popular website of the same name.
Just about anything goes when you’re putting together a special character for a company’s exclusive logo design or product. Anything from tubas to pumpkins to super heros. An inspirational collection of 20 logo design characters from my own personal logo portfolio.
One of my favorite logo and type designers of all time is Michael Doret. Even if you don’t recognize his name right away, you are likely familiar with his very impressive body of work.
