Logo Design Is Not Like Mr. Potato Head by Ottawa Graphic Designer idApostle

For the past year I have been very active on Twitter but have completely ignored Facebook. Having recently seen that People Use Facebook 44% And Twitter 29% For Social Sharing, I have decided to take the leap and start using the service. I will be posting more frequently on Facebook than I do on this site with unique content related to logo, branding, graphic design, and design ethics.

999 Ways Not to Design a Logo is a good example of the sort of stuff I will be posting so have a look and ‘like me’.

I was wondering why your article was on facebook but it wasn’t up on here yet! Anyways, I thought your article on the “999 components” book was great insight. I totally agree that so many people are making branding/identity so much of a template based creative process that it hardly is creative anymore.

Thanks Joshua. I am still trying to sort out how/what I will post on here versus on Facebook. I think for what I consider the more interesting Facebook posts I will add a link on this site—lIke I have done here.

The book is horrible and I am surprised that Rockport didn’t anticipate it’s publication would upset a few designers. I am hopeful they won’t make a second edition of ‘clip art logos’.

I checked out your site and you have some nice work. In particular, I liked the Sophomore Piano Recital Poster http://bforballeza.com/work/all-work/sophomore-piano-recital/
