Drawing a Good Logo I just finished reading Lea’s great three part series on the Art of Self Branding (1, 2, 3). I thought I would share a bit about how my own thought process works. Specifically, I will talk about the influences and factors that went into branding the Godbit Project. At first, I wasn’t sure how well recieved the Godbit website would be, wondering if it would be percieved as just another cheezy Christian endeavor. However, since it seems to be getting a lot of attention from various design galleries, I figured I’d talk a more about it. Initial Attempt I must admit, that when I started planning for this site, I had two words in the back of my head, “Christian Stylegala.” While this design is visually appealing, after asking around (without saying what it was for), I found that it conjured up two things in people’s minds. Branding Influences It’s been said that art does not exist in a vacuum, and we are all influenced by what we have seen. Paying Homage —› Jonathan Snook —› Design by Fire

039;s Cafe [update] Starbucks logo changes again. You are probably here because you looked closely at the Starbucks logo and were a little confused about what is depicted on it. Is it a mermaid? What are those things that she is holding up with her hands? Wasn’t the logo different before? I asked those questions myself and did a little bit of digging. Basically, from what I gathered from different sources, including that book, there is a lot of confusion between the different mythological half-women. The whole sex-symbol status of mermaids hinges on the question which part is “woman” – upper or lower. Wise mythologists came up with the answer, of course. The book had an old engraving of a two-tailed mermaid. Notice that the graphic designer removed the belly button, the unattractive shading around the bulging tummy of the 15th century siren and merged the tail-legs to remove the suggestion of naughty bits. Here’s the “cigar band” logo from which I took the image above. Here is the current logo.

300 Images From 1800 Sites I started gathering little, iconesque web images for myself so that I could compare, contrast, and study the techniques used by graphic artists on the web like Ben Sky. My initial pool of images looked so interesting that I decided to continue methodically hunting and capturing the icons for a public display piece. The purpose of this document is not to copy the intellectual property of others, but rather as a jumping-off point for your own unique web graphic projects.
