There are plenty of good sites out there to learn the ins and outs of logo design, what makes a good logo, a bad logo, the principles of logo design etc. But more than often in the web 2.0 age we live in, people only know the big names such as YouTube. I decided to have a look as to what people were posting on the topic of logo design and I entered in the search term “Logo Design” and what I found was not good. Many of the videos were slide-shows set to some metal or rock music while logos flicked by, some were ok, many were ugly at best. In the top ratings here are some of the videos I found.

We have all seen logos on billboards, in Times Square, plastered on the sides of buildings these are the logos that are hard to miss, they scream for attention and compete with the other big boys on the block for your attention. But if you think that bigger is the way to go, you would be surprised.
This posts illustrates the importance of planning ahead when it comes to logo design. When it comes down to it, you really don’t know where a logo will be used.

It looks pretty empty around here, tons of white space. Hopefully that will be changing in future as I begin my journey of blogging about design and logo design. It is pretty intimidating to write a first post. I mean what do you write about? Obviously something about the topic of your blog. The way I look at it and the way I have come to start blogs is to just place your fingers on the keyboard and start to type. Well I think I blabbed on for more than I needed to for a first post. I hope you come back in the future. Till then it’s back to work for me!
