LOGO DESIGN BLOG   LOGO DESIGN REVIEW

In this star-studded episode, Paul dives in to originality in logo design. Often times it is very easy to think you are being creative and original if you just sit down and create something from scratch. Problem is, often times we are influenced by things we have already seen and are just too lazy to research in an attempt to avoid plagiarism. There are some resources on the web that are in their infant stages of image recognition, and hopefully one day we will be able to submit a design, and get results back that show if anything has been created very similar to what we have done. But until that day, it is each designer’s responsibility to do reasonable, proper research, and investigation to avoid plagiarizing another’s logo.

We appreciate all your comments and feedback, email Paul with and the rest of the Logo Design crew here and please give us some.

This week, Paul takes us on a harrowing journey into 2 of the cardinal sins of logo design…1. Too much clutter. 2. Illegibility. The quickest way to lose a customer’s attention, is have a logo that is difficult to read/understand. Sometimes, as designers, it is up to us to educate our clients and help them understand that in a logo, less is more. What tells people of their services is their marketing efforts, and the logo is there to back them up with the professional look.

How many no-no’s can you find in this logo below? If you don’t find any…please see Logodesign.com podcast 1-10 as well.

Once again, we LOVE your feedback, we LOVE your input, we LOVE your comments good or not as uplifting. Send any questions to us here, and feel free to post your thoughts for others to partake below. Thanks for listening, hope we helped in some way!

Not to beat a dead horse…but…well actually, I could see a dead horse in this logo. With the controversial 2012 Olympic Logo still fresh in everyone’s minds, we decide to look a little bit more in depth at the saga of Olympic Logos. Good thing they don’t have the Logo Draw as an official event. Anyways, it looks like Logoworks is trying some damage control in an effort to show what great ideas the design community REALLY has to offer…and for FREE. They built this website where you can create your own logo for 2012 and submit it for voting. UK visitors can go to your very own site HERE. We also found a similar site here, not sure whose it is. It’s a neat deal, and you can see alot of different ideas that designers across the world have come up with. Give it a try…anything’s better.

As always, thanks for listening, and send any questions/comments/general advice to us here.
