Logo Designer Blog Launchs + (Win Prizes!)

Well only 3 months after launching Logo Of The Day, I now have another surprise for you… a new blog totally dedicated to logo & identity design. I introduce you to Logo Designer Blog! This blog is for logo design discussion, inspiration, tips and resources (and then some) which will be provided by myself and the many contributors to the site (we’ve already had 11 articles submitted). Please feel free to submit an article to the site.

On another note, you may have noticed the familiar pink, white and grey colour scheme? I have kept with these colours to cross brand all three of my sites (Just Creative Design, Logo Of The Day & now Logo Designer Blog). You may have also noticed the dot as the logo, quite similar to the Logo Of The Day logo. In short, I have gone with this simple approach because the circle is a very common design element found in many logos which in turn, reflects the blog quite well. It was quite a challenge though… how would you design a logo for a logo design blog?

So what type of articles can you expect on Logo Designer Blog? Here are a few already on offer:

I would also like to thank those who have already submitted articles (which are or will be appearing soon); Alex Charchar (RetinArt), Anthony Zinni (Positive Space), Chad Mueller (Inspiredology), Chris Spooner (Spoon Graphics), Graham Smith (ImJustCreative), Lauren Marie (Creative Curio), Liam McKay (WeFunction) & Selene Bowlby (iDesign Studios).

Please do feel free to submit an article yourself.

To entice you to promote the site, there are a few prizes on offer! Each task you do will get you one entry into each prize draw (ie. 6 prizes = 6 draws).

I also added 3 logos in your flicker pool (hope i got the tags right), also that made me register there, so now im gonna post my work there more someday. What i would like to see here more?

    Posted comments, Stumble reviewed it, tweeted, and suggesting an article…now!

    I’d like to see a little expose on musician’s logos someday!

    Nice site ! I would suggest theme logo articles. By theme logo articles, I mean examples of similar logo for the same type of business.
    For example, since I work on the car rental, I would like to see the comparaison between the different car rental companies logos.
