Good article, but a bit confusing – are the examples a “do” or a “don’t” ? It’s mixed up.

And I just checked out the Free Logo Maker site quoted here – what a great tool!

Originally, “KISS” is another acronym coming from the Army (Which swims with acronyms.. it’s awful, if you’ve been in the Army, you know). Keep it Simple Stupid, but it’s since been tones down to “Keep it simple Silly”, as know one wants to be called Stupid, not even Forrest Gump.

I’m not sure what the logomaker has to do with the post. This post makes sense, we’ll pass on to our design team as “reminders”.

Designers.. consider this- not every business has $1500 to design a logo (some new bloggers, literally have $0)- so, better to have something for free, than nothing they can afford. As their business grows, hopefully they’ll recognzie the importance and re-brand themselves, and hire professional designers.

Also, I think that LogoBlog has a right to monetize the site with this tool. Designers dont work for free, neither to bloggers. Wake up, we aren’t in a communist country, we are in capitalistic country, and have a right to make money, right?

@ Linda…thanks for pointing out the “Nike Swoosh” placed under the wrong title. I think while writing a post on “Logo Design Mistakes” I made the first mistake myself

@ Shawn Kay, Samoo, Straightalk….glad to know that you all liked the post but once again i would like to excuse for the wrong image placement

@ Alma Hoffmann, Nick, Randy, Patrice, Johnkanesmith… I completly understand your discontent for the “Free Logo Maker” option available on top but I would say that its a matter of choice, as said by Larry David. My blog aims to cater all the designers with different perspectives.

However, thanks to all the readers who stopped by and dropped their comments.

Really nice article. Agree most with “rule” #2: but unfortunately logo design is commonly mistaken for agreeable colors + shapes put together.

One should think the most of those “rules” are going without saying… but it’s always good to think twice!

Thanks for sharing!
