LOGO DESIGN BLOG   LOGO DESIGN REVIEW

Babe, a 16 month calf was born with an interesting mark on her forehead. Babe has a white Virginia Tech logo on her head. It wasn’t discovered until two months ago when the owner’s wife was watching a Virginia Tech football game on TV and saw the VT logo.

Now, we’ve all seen interesting locations for logos, including the forehead tattoo. But this takes it to the next level. How great would it be if your logo started popping up on animals or even people naturally? What the owners of Babe need to do is start breeding her and through the process, create the Virginia Tech Cow. Now that would be worth money! Who knows, we could start genetically engineering animals, trees, and other organisms to have our logo.

As you may have noticed, we’ve made a few changes here on the site.  With the arrival of 2008, we felt it was time for a new look.  Some key things have been added to the site, some things removed, but hopefully all of our changes better suit our site readers and visitors.  We know that our staple of readers consists of designers of all skill levels, instructors, etc., however we also receive a ton of daily inquiries from visitors looking for logo design services.

With this new layout, there’s no question as to where you can get graphic design services since we don’t provide them, but we have also kept the content easily accessible on the page.  We hope this new look will let anyone that comes across our site, whether looking for a logo design, or looking for a tip for designing a logo, quickly and easily find what you are looking for!

What’s the secret to a great illustrative logo? There are many different kinds of illustrative styles, some cartoonish, some more abstract, some more detailed. But how do the really great designers do it? What do they know, what secret ancient technique do they use, how did they get so good? Here’s the secret, find what style you enjoy most, or excel at…and then practice, practice, practice until you are the best at what you do! There is no secret to great design, only experience you gain by practicing and doing.

Thanks for all your feedback, please give us more! We would love to hear from you, and what you would be interested to learn about. You can send feedback to us here with any idea, comments, questions, etc.
