Logo Design Podcast 13: When life gives you clipart…
Hello once again, and sorry for the layoff. In this episode, Paul takes one of our logo review clients, and gives their logo an extreme makeover! He shows how you can take clipart, and turn it in to something respectable. Since many clients like the look of clipart enough to use it as their company brand, and sometimes actually insist on using it over original design, Paul illustrates how you can use this to your advantage as a solid starting point. You already know what the customer likes, now you can proceed from the there and put your own original touch to the design, and give them back something unique that they will love.
Any feedback you may have is appreciated, and helps us make this podcast more informative and useful! You can either leave comments below, or email us here. Thanks for listening, and we’ll see you soon!

I was afraid you went away for good! Thanks for the podcasts, I enjoy them.
The re-vamped logo is a vast improvement over the original, although I’m not a big fan of doing things like extending the lines on letters..but that’s just me.
I generally like your thought processes on logo design.

i’m a graphic designer in southern california (san diego)
i like what you did with the logo,
but i suggest that you join the “B” and “S” from the word BUILDERS to the bottom of the houses
other than that looks good
great job with the podcast i really enjoy it
keep it up

I love the revision but…. The left “house” graphic bothers me; the odd angle, dangling there with no apparent purpose while intruding onto the center house graphic seems to imply a crack (for lack of a better term.) A (subconscious) graphic impression a builder may not want to convey to customers.

You are doing great, comprehensive design tutorials! They’re fun to watch, too. Beware of too many blocky logos though. I sometimes have the feeling that logos look too much like brick walls (especially in the U.S.). Dynamic and openness can give the design recognizable character.
Keep doing this great blog! RoKö
