As to be expected, a revolt of sorts, by creatives of all disciplines, ensued after news announced by iStock that they would be selling ‘ready made’ logo designs. The level of discourse created by such news was pretty intense, and will be going on for some time I am sure.
A Few Good Logo Designers. You worked in a creative department? You want great ads? You want a bigger logo?… The size of a logo, well tragic, doesn’t sell products… You weep for a bigger logo and you curse the art directors. You have that luxury. That the size of a logo doesn’t sell product. I’d rather you went to lunch and said thank you.
A new typographic based poster design, free for you to download. This quote came about whilst I was playing on Twitter in response to something someone said. “No. I don’t design logos. I pull them out of my ass.”
One of the many cool things about Twitter, is that I get ideas for new blog posts almost on a daily basis. This post was inspired such an event, all to do with buying new fonts for new logo projects.
Always, and I mean always, on the look out for new sources of inspiration, I occasional stumble cross a site that has a healthy helping of logo designs, typography, art and pretty much everything else. Share Some Candy is one of those sites.

Many people know of my fascination for Helvetica, so using Helvetica for my own logo seemed quite a logical move.
In this post, I will highlight my methods and reasons for dealing with new clients, budget issues and the often tricky ‘how much will the logo cost me?’ scenario. It is something I have been asked a number of times on Twitter, and from my own experience, it is a frequent occurrence.
This is not a traditional client logo project, far from it. Frankly, I’m not sure how I even got to this stage with it. All I know was that this idea initially grew from previous project, and through various tweaks and ideas, it slowly developed into it’s own identity. An identity for a graphic design company or freelancer called Graphic Skyline.
Three new font styles added to the ImJustCreative free and opensource font library. This time a triple helping from Gustav Jerlardtz. I originally saw his new font, Teodoria, on his Behance profile several months back. I emailed him asking if would consider making it available for a free download, and here we are.
