LOGO DESIGN BLOG   LOGO DESIGN REVIEW

Paul delves into the seedy underworld of Icons for this podcast. Threats of takeover by these style logos abound…fear of the traditional logo going the way of the Dodo seem abundant. No doubt, icons are very simple, effective marketing tools…assuming you can get one with some staying power. Reality says that most businesses probably are not the ‘iconic logo fits all approach’, but when they do and the designer can pull it off, the results are sometimes very impressive.

No one likes a logo with bad-breath, in this episode Paul comes up with a cure for the dreaded ‘Halitosis Logo’, his solution…? Apply a little Crest. Okay that was a lame pun, but in reality a crest style logo can help you take generally spastic and disjointed designs and give them some nice cohesion. They are not as easy as they may appear, but Paul gives a step-by-step look at how to start at a concept and work it into a nice lather, then polish that into a gleaming piece of crested goodness.

Any comments, questions, remarks, ponderances, critiques, general thoughts or other are VERY appreciated…and can be left in the comments box, or by emailing Paul at feedback@logodesign.com

The latest in the Logo Design podcast series, deals with inspiration from quite possibly the best movie created to date…Frank Miller’s ‘300′. Paul was inspired to create a podcast that is still informative, yet directly influenced by this movie. The focus here is on creating custom brushes that allow you a very artistic, free form, gritty feel…or depending on how you create and use them, the complete opposite. This is the beauty of the brush feature in Illustrator. Paul re-creates the 300 logo using custom brushes, and gives some screen captures that will help you do the same. Enjoy!
