Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. Nice and crisp representations with comments. The Glow and Transparent 3D are fabulous trends indeed - modern and yet organic.

Great post! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I love the Q Ink logo! Just starting my own graphics/consulting studio and finding the development of my own logo to be a challenge. I’m excited for it though and looking forward to putting out something elegant and unique. Thanks for the inspiration

James, Welcome to the blog-o-sphere. I know a lot of people who are afraid to try it out or speak up, and as a result, miss out on a lot of great information….and we miss out on their insights. Hope you’ll post your thoughts and background often.

Nonny Mouse, I was sad to see the first part of your post. I can’t imagine that what you said was helpful to James or this community.

I have been researching logo design lately because it has always been something that interests me. I think your site is great, thanks for all the logo info. I also thought your Logo Creator was pretty cool. This definitely gives me some ideas that I can use. I like the look of the embellish category logos, I haven’t seen too many of those before.

James Willis, I sincerely hope your future posts will be LESS USELESS. If you have nothing to say, please do everyone on the entire Internet a favour and shut up about it.

One thing I’ve noticed in the last year or so is that there seems to be a move away from logos as such to plain old logotypes. This reminds me of the METAFONT logo (see Wikipedia for background on this), and seems like a welcome return to simplicity.

Some insights for fellow designers regarding the Osaka Sushi Logo. I was using a Japanese bamboo paint brush to work on a simple stroke that would capture the essence of a fish. Unfortunately, all attempts to get the symbol to appear like a simple zen brush stroke failed. So in a fit of disappointment..I threw my brush down and went to go collect my thoughts while managing my set back by having a drink. When I came back to the pad and brush after a few hours I noticed the fish, scanned it in and voila, happy accident transformed into zen masterpiece!

Thank you for sharing the 2006 trends. I see logos being designed here on a daily basis and have noticed a lot of these trends from last year, even being used this year, so it’s interesting to read about. I like how you laid it out.

Great article, I really enjoyed reading this.
