    Come One, Come All! Contest to Redesign our Logo!

    As you know, here at logo blog, we love to share logo ideas. Our site has been up for a while and I noticed that our logo is a bit out dated. After working on a few redesigns myself, I decided it would be a lot more fun to throw this opportunity out to our logo blog readers. I threw away my quick sketches and had a meeting with the staff, where we came up with a contest for you, the readers who support us, to design a new logo for logo blog.

    This competition is a great way for the design community to share your work and talent with us. The winning design will replace the current Logo Blog logo on our website. Unfortunately, when you get lawyers involved the opportunity to win prizes, will be limited to United States Residents only. However, we encourage designers from around the globe to participate, and to have their design featured on the web’s premiere logo site, Logo Blog.

    From March 20, 2009 through April 10, 2009, Logo Blog will be accepting submissions for our new logo design. The winning design will become the official logo for www.LogoBlog.org. The Logo Blog staff will select the top ten design submissions and will post them on our website. We will then open the contest to the public, and the blogging community to vote and determine the best design. Voting will take place from April 13, 2009 to April 20, 2009 and the winner will be announced on April 21, 2009. If you are a logo designer, or design student interested in giving it a shot, we encourage you to participate!

    The top three designs received from United States Residents will receive the following great prizes: 1st place is a brand new 13” MacBook! 2nd place wins an 8 GB Apple Ipod Touch! 3rd place will receive a 16 GB Ipod Nano! Good Luck Designers! Show me what you’ve got.

    Goodbye Jessica, Hello Kevin!

    Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave
    William Shakespeare
    Merchant of Venice

    Hello out there my logo friends. Unfortunately this post won’t be one of the most favorite I have ever written. I would even be willing to admit that it may be my least favorite. I regret to inform you that I will no longer be on LogoBlog.org. Due to personal obligations and an ever busying schedule, I cannot afford the time or energy to sustain the level of commitment I believe this community deserves.

    Don’t worry however; I am leaving you in safe hands. A colleague of mine and fellow logo enthusiast has stepped up to the plate and offered to fill my rather large(and modest) shoes. Kevin Scott is a talented and passionate logo design aficionado. Having known Kevin for a very long time, I trust in his expertise and know that his interest in the design community will keep LogoBlog.org the unique and intriguing logo haven that it has become.

    My final request is that you welcome Kevin as you have welcomed me. I hope that like me, he can find the exchanging of thoughts and techniques in logo design equally as rewarding.

    I personally believe in keeping goodbyes short and sweet. While I wouldn’t want the band to start playing mid post, I cannot resist leaving with one more logo topic, the farewell logo.

    While logos are usually designed in the initial branding stages, or for a rebirth of an image, they also serve a purpose at the end of the life cycle. Closing, demolition, and commemorative logos often serve as reminders of change and establish a reminiscent mood.

    With these logos in particular, it is up to the designer to determine how the business, organization, or structure will be remembered. By selecting bright colors and warm images, the designer has the ability to reflect positive feelings about the subject. It is also common to incorporate familiar symbols to which observers would find comforting.

    I would like to think that my goodbye logo would shine a positive light upon my time here at LogoBlog.org. Here are some examples of recent “goodbye” logos from my favorite sport, baseball. Take a gander!

    Goodbye and many thanks,

    -Jessica
