This is a new Logo Design concept that I am working at work. It is for a company in West Palm Beach. The logo needed to allow for animation later and also work as a static logo. I began the process of creating this by making sure it looked good as a solid 1 color logo. Then I added the gradients. You can have a nice looking logo for your corporate identity, full of filters and gradients but if it does not work as a single color or at least a 2 color logo then you can run into trouble in the future. This is still a work in progress.
Logo Idea

This was just an exercise in creating a logo design. We are working on a video at work to show how we take our clients ideas and turn them into a reality. I thought about using a light bulb in the creation of this logo but went with a beaker and gears…gears as in “gears turning” when coming up with an idea. I would have liked to have spent more time on this but it needed to be done quickly for the video. I may work on it in the future to take the logo design a but further.
Web Designer vs. Programers

Visual design is often the polar opposite of programing: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of web designers drives programers bananas.

“Every designers’ dirty little secret is that they copy other designers’ work. They see work they like, and they imitate it…… they call this inspiration.”

After having the site down for a few months I am finally getting it back up and running. “We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better…stronger…faster.” I will be posting general thoughts about design in this blog and also linking to articles I feel are interesting and relevant to the design field…….and on occasion other “geekery”…. In the “Current” section of the site you will find information and images of current projects I am working on.
