I think the composition is terrific, and so is the colour. It looks great. I wonder if it would be even stronger if you stuck with Eccentric for your tagline, rather than the Zapfino?

Great work! I think you achieved a classy, vintage-feel poster, yet fits with the city too (not that I’ve been to Portland in particular). I really like it!

Don’t worry! I very rarely unsubscribed due to lack of activity, quite the opposite; I’ve unsubscribed from bogs for too much activity that I couldn’t keep up with. Unless you declare that you won’t be writing, I’ll stay

Comment on Adding Gold To Your Logo, YIKES! by Karly Barrett

Kevin,

I’m sorry to take so long to reply. My answer to you is that most companies develop several versions of their logo for different applications. Along with that, they often develop a logo usage guide. I did a google image search on the You Tube logo and found at least three versions of it. Not all of them were three dimensional.

Vincent,

Very informative response and I agree with you fully. Thank you for reminding us about hieroglyphs too. I recently read about how the shapes of our letters are technically logos themselves as most of them are simplified versions of pictures that started with a given letter’s sound in the Phoenician language.

Thanks Kristarella, I hope you haven’t unsubscribed due to my lack of activity recently. I promise I have some good things brewing.

Freddygirl,

Thanks for the compliments and writing about this entry on your blog. I actually wasn’t going for a skyline but mountains as Kristarella mentioned. Though, I can see how it could be misinterpreted as a skyline.

Kristarella,

I’m glad you like it. Oh, and I just noticed that you did the expressive words exercise. I’ll have to go check it out.

[…] a bit of fun and a thoughtful exercise, so I gave it a go. I only did four words, three of which Karly did (to see what else I could come up with) and one of my own (a dictionary.com Word of the […]

Hey there. Thanks for the positive comments about my work.

I was flossing my teeth before bedtime and my wife came in and said, “I just googled our names and guess what I found?”

So that’s how we stumbled across your blog.

Anyway, from one designer to another, have a great day tomorrow.

Very cool. I like how you’ve not only made the sun with type, but put some mountains/landscape in there too.
