Some Clarification New Logos


Here is another sheet of revisions. The details are slight. I removed the stroke around the green mountains and leaf on the right. The series on the left is without the leaf and the first "O" is not partially hidden.

Some Clarification Old Logos


The last blog did not put the logos in the right order. This graphic features the old logos on the left and the revised ones on the right.

Out Sick, But Would Appreciate Any Feedback




Hello everybody. I'll be out sick tonight, but I completed another round of revisions for my Boordy logo. I've included last week's revisions for comparison. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

David! So random you just posted Joy Divide because a friend of mine last week told me about them and to remember the name I kept calling them "Happy Subtraction." Just thought I'd share the coincidence.

Piggy-backing on what Jocelyn said: Whenever I can't think of the tiniest of ideas, I sit (most of the time with a magnum of wine) and brainstorm the most ridiculous scenarios I can imagine...ever. They can be sexual, or a wouldn't-it-be-funny-if-someone-did-this type of thing, or hilarious situations you hope would never happen but it would be funny if they did, etc. Luckily for me, the more wine I drink, the more ridiculous I become. As far as I'm concerned, no idea during the brainstorming process is taboo. I never give a crap what anyone is going to think because it doesn't matter--the point of brainstorming is to discover a creative concept and work from there. Also, the more ridiculous the idea the better (in my opinion) because when you file down the absurdity factor you're still left with something a little risque and exciting.

in continuing effort to make this blog more random and blog like, i present, in order:

1) my favourite band of any era
2) some guys in powder-blue suits going really fast
3) a time-lapse vid that's inspiring & pretty & touchy feely.

Painters.

I rarely read books about design, only if I have to. I found design books distracting for proper thinking and inspiration.
Medos, Sreten Tanaskovic, Dragan Jovicevic, Mica Popovic, Vladimir Velickovic are people who influence me. There name doesn’t mean anything to you since they are great names of Serbian art. However among world famous names, that inspire me, are at the first place grate Austrian painters Klimt, Schiele, Hundertwasser and the grate abstract painter Kandinsky.
Except painters I find useful watching the masters of Italian cinema, observing the nature, working under pressure, or not working at all, watching Champions league and get angry when Chelsea lost or going to DC United game, Stravinsky, Valentino Rossi, Carl Cox, Ambasada Gavioli, Ministry of Sound, Gaudi, Jamiroquai, Ivo Andric, Dostoevsky, skiing and braking the lag….. Of course there are some things I can not mention on this blog since that will be against UB policy: “behaving as a professional” (not inspiring at all). Did I mention Life?
