29 Ways to stay creative
Thursday, October 13th, 2011Responsive Logo Design
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011The dust has settled since the launch of the London 2012 logo. It’s a design that received criticism from the general public and the design community alike and even now, four years on from its badly scripted unveiling it still has few fans. I’ll state now (like I did back in 2007) that I am a fan (though I do have criticism for the launch and the language used to explain the design concept). The Olympic Games has always been about sports men and women striving to be the best and win medals for their countries, but the games have a major commercial interest too. The world will be watching these games so big brands pay big money to be in partnership.
What the font
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011I noticed this news story today:
“Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan wrote his name two miles across — with letters a kilometre high. It is so huge that the “H”, the first “A” and part of the “M” have been made into waterways. The mega-rich sheikh, 63 — a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi — in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates — boasts a £14billion fortune that is second only to the Saudi king’s.”
For fun I took a screenshot of the satellite view, cleaned it up a bit in Photoshop and ran the result through http://new.myfonts.com/:
I reckon Suredog (bold) is a good match… should you wish to write your name on your beach in 1 kilometer point size.
What are you thinking?
Saturday, July 16th, 2011I designed a logo for a client recently and I thought the idea I came up with was great. The design ticked all the right boxes (or so I thought) but what excited me most about it was it’s versatility. I could see parts of the logo that would really develop the clients visual identity and I felt it would work well across many mediums. The logo worked well big, small, reversed and in full colour. The icon used in the logo could be used on it’s own to enhance branding and create something which I felt was a modern and forward thinking design.
