you've strategically hit upon the logo & icon portfolio and blog of UK logo designer Graham Smith — the original Logo Smith since '86.
I don’t usually go out looking for props and likes so this is a bit of a first. My main motivation is just to see if people like the sort of things that I write, and resources that I provide via the imjustcreative blog.
This isn’t so much about me as a person but more about what I do on this website and the blog. You might have found some of my logo templates useful or laughed/groaned at a few of my posters, and maybe you just like some of the work I have done in my logo portfolio.
We all need some form of validation at times and this is me reaching out to you.
I realise that one may open themselves to the negative when seeking anything positive so I’ll take it all on the chin.
Like and +1
If anything that I have written or provided has been useful for you then I would surely appreciate it if you could send a Facebook Like and/or Google +1 my way.
For a Like there is a convenient button below which is for the imjustcreative website as a whole.
For a Google +1 I would greatly appreciate it if you could +1 my actual home page as this is where they are mostly needed. The button can be found at the bottom of the left sidebar.
If on the other hand you object to anything that I do or have some thoughts about what you would like to see more of on the imjustcreative blog then please feel free to leave constructive comments below.

Looks as though I’m the first to comment :)
Been following your blog quietly for the last 8-10 months and you’ve written some great posts. I’m especially fond of your Logo Process write ups. I’m formally from an IT background as well as some freelance photography, I started working in Graphic Design around 4 years ago and I’m certainly still learning, your posts have really helped and given me more thought to my own processes.
Keep up the good work.

Appreciate the comment and nice to know some things are of interest to you.
Congratulations for the blog Graham. I have been reading your blog like…two years? And all the time I found great information. And I loved the templates for logos. It is a way to make our lives easy. Thanks!
Ohh 2 years you say. That’s like forever in internet speak. Thank you for the support all the way through.
Graham, man, ImJustCreative is the single best resource I’ve found for freelance logo designers. You’ve offered up your pricing model, your creative process, all kinds of templates and forms like your questionnaire to clients, your identity guide, and the giving away of these “secrets” are invaluable to me. I like the other stuff you do on this site too but that is the number one reason that I consider your site the best resource for freelance logo designers.
That’s praise indeed. I just do my thing and that suits me fine but it’s useful and nice to know from time to time that people are reading.
Great post. You’re site is very informative for a web guy like myself. Just wanted to let you know that in the opening paragraph the link to ”
imjustreative blog” is missing the letter “c”.
Thanks for the heads up, all corrected. :)
I check your blog every day, if that tells you anything. Keep it up.
of course i like it thats why im here.

I follow and I lead… :)
The best thing for me about the site is the sharing of processes and resources and the fact you listen to others input and tweak the resources, unlike other personal blogs you don’t believe you know everything and listen to feedback.
Also really enjoy the creative processes you share, always interesting to see how others think.
My logo process posts do seem to be quite well read as far as I can see. which is nice as they take forever to put together. :0)
Hi Graham, I’m a marketer (of the digital persuasion) with a fascination with design, branding and also web dev. I have been following your twitter and blog for about 6 months and I have to say, the logo process posts are so insightful. More so than this, they contain valuable advice on gaining client information and the discussion around that which can be applied to any creative process with a client. Thank you for what you share so candidly. Please keep it up. Emily

I’ve only been following this blog for a month or so, via a link from Perishable Press.
As a designer myself I like your logo process topics – just as it gives an insight into how someone else goes about the task of creation. I also like your Brand Indentity topics.
Overall a great place to be. I normally come here through new entries in Google Reader so tend to just read one article at a time rather than have a good dig around… but that’s just me being lazy.
Keep up the great work.
