LogoDesign.com Podcast 6: Fusing Graphics & Text
Making the graphics and text in your logo designs match is not easy to do, but knowing how to do it can be the difference between a timeless, wonderful design and an awkward mark that doesn’t sit well or make a lasting impression. In this episode Paul outlines some best practices on how to make graphics and text gel, and as always, there are great examples too.

Great podcast - would love to hear a podcast on your take of this (and similar) issues in logo design:

Well, I don’t feel qualified to discuss copyright issues, and this topic is kind of been discussed to death…way too much for me, anyway. The HOW design forum and YAYHooray kind of beat that dead horse to dust last year. My take is, if you copy other people’s work, you suck. It’s fine to be inspired and learn from others’ techniques, but blatant copying isn’t cool. The trouble is, the simpler you get with your logo design, the greater the chance that it’ll be used somewhere else.
Love your site, btw, Dan. You do nice work.

I enjoyed the podcast but I could not locate the graphics and text in which you were wspeaking of. Where can I take a look and listen at the same time so I can get a better undertanding of what you were doing?

On iTunes. Go to the store and search for logo design. Then subscribe the the podcast, and it will play in the preview window as it plays. I thought it did with this site version, too. I’ll have the tech guys get on that. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice job showing how when a graphic and typography are correctly married the parts work together and support each other.
