drewboy said on Feb. 05 '08

Very good! Clever idea. The type is perhaps a bit 'sec', but it works well with the mark.

artboy said on Feb. 05 '08

Love it! Really simple and clever at the same time.

drewboy said on Feb. 05 '08

I would strongly advise a visit to Roy's showcase - there's a cartload of excellent stuff...

dado said on Feb. 05 '08

Another great logo my friend!

firebrand said on Feb. 05 '08

@artboy: Thanks

firebrand said on Mar. 19 '08

Thanks for that, Alex.

Siah-Design said on May. 17 '09

This is awesome Roy! Surprised I've never seen it before

Thanks, Josiah. :)

birofunk said on Jun. 05 '09

man i could fav everything in your gallery. this one really stands out though, so clever!

firebrand said on Jun. 05 '09

Thanks birofunk :)

lefty said on Sep. 07 '09

This is simply genious, so simple, so clever!

mister jones said on Sep. 07 '09

wonderful logo

firebrand said on Sep. 07 '09

Thanks lefty. Do you see an open door, exhibition panels or window shutters?

firebrand said on Sep. 07 '09

Thanks Mister j. Much appreciated.

lefty said on Sep. 07 '09

i see an open door, a gate with one open door inviting to come in. is that correct ?

dbunk said on Sep. 08 '09

Supacool I have this logo on many sites as reference material. Never knew it belonged to a Logoponder. Brilliant execution

GaryS said on Sep. 08 '09

Is this not in the gallery? It should be!

firebrand said on Sep. 08 '09

@lefty: It can be any of those things but the client refers to it as 'the shutters'.

@dbunk: Thanks, glad you like it. :)

@GaryS: Ours is not to reason why. ;)

dbunk said on Sep. 08 '09

Well said on Gary's comment

itsgareth said on Sep. 17 '09

I thought I could feel a draft...

firebrand said on Sep. 17 '09

@itsgareth ;)

Cheers, nima.

cerise said on Sep. 17 '09

One of my favourites on logopond for sure.

cerise said on Sep. 17 '09

Actually just realised that I didn't hit the favourite button when I first floated it...My bad

firebrand said on Sep. 18 '09

Cheers, cerise. How's it going mate?

cerise said on Sep. 19 '09

Hey there Roy, keeping busy, with the family, kids, "wife", and work. Keep on truckin tiger.

m1sternoname said on Oct. 08 '09

every once in a while I must look at this logo, it's a neurosis

firebrand said on Oct. 09 '09

Haha. Thanks Floris.

janzabransky said on Jan. 18 '10

Definitely so, Anthony, thisi is mine favourite - one of many Roys works, too.

firebrand said on Jan. 19 '10

Is it really? That's nice to know Tony :)

Jan, cheers again bud.

Art Machine said on Jan. 19 '10

Did you receive mine, Roy? :)

nido said on Jan. 21 '10

just noticed... has this never been in the gallery?...

firebrand said on Jan. 21 '10

Not this one. Maybe it's not David's cup o' tea?

nido said on Jan. 21 '10

you mean "tasse de thé"..

logoholik said on Jan. 21 '10

We'll make it then :)

firebrand said on Jan. 21 '10

Makin a nice brew Bojan?

brandsimplicity said on Jan. 21 '10

Always been my cuppa...just forgot to say so!

Alessandro Mingione said on Jan. 21 '10

Simply amazing!

ethereal said on Jan. 21 '10

Floated long ago but never commented. Just phenomenal, Roy.

mabu said on Jan. 23 '10

This is without a doubt one of the best solutions here on the pond. Excellent work, Roy.

logomotive said on Jan. 23 '10

Yes Roy is 'King of Klever.'

firebrand said on Jan. 25 '10

Why thank you kind gents!

dezinart said on Feb. 16 '10

Oh wow! I'm now reading the book, Logo Design Love and this logo was featured! Very nice work. I enjoyed reading that section of the book.

firebrand said on Feb. 16 '10

Thanks dezinart. Yes, it was nice to be part of the project.

raja said on Feb. 16 '10

I know I commented on this yet I don't see it. I must have hit preview instead of post...like a year ago. Anyway, still love it. The simplicity is so attractive. You set the bar pretty high for yourself :D

firebrand said on Feb. 23 '10

Thank you raja.

Type08 said on Mar. 02 '10

A master piece...

Chad Sanderson said on Mar. 02 '10

Yup. Perfection.

azao said on Mar. 02 '10

OMG!!! Outstanding like whole showcase!

mister jones said on Mar. 02 '10

nice to see this one pop up again :)

janzabransky said on Mar. 02 '10

Glad to see it again.

datzebao said on Mar. 02 '10

Great logo :)

mcdseven said on Mar. 02 '10

this should have a permanent link on the gallery. Its in the top five (IMHO) of logos on this site. Simplicity personified, conceptual brilliance, memorable, all rolled into one. if I design something like this before I exit this university I'd be one happy camper.

firebrand said on Mar. 02 '10

I don't know what to say. I'm quite staggered it's on the front page. Thanks for the kind comments.

fogra said on Mar. 02 '10

Great to see this one getting the attention it deserves.

mcdseven said on Mar. 02 '10

'I don't know what to say. I'm quite staggered it's on the front page. Thanks for the kind comments.'

Your way to humble Roy!

itsgareth said on Mar. 02 '10

Bout bloody time! Great work Rman :)

kaimere said on Mar. 02 '10

birofunk said on Mar. 02 '10

agree with the guys on this, i'd always presumed it had been in the gallery.

It's in my top 10 all time logos

gravitart said on Mar. 02 '10

Glad to see this legendary logo again.

Rokac said on Mar. 02 '10

One of the best here on the LP.
Glad to see it in the gallery.

ethereal said on Mar. 02 '10

Ha ha, finally, Roy, congrats buddy.

ClimaxDesigns said on Mar. 02 '10

"just noticed... has this never been in the gallery?..."
"Not this one. Maybe it's not David's cup o' tea?"

You all have to remember that Roy was a featured artist so his showcase got a LOT of exposure when this was originally uploaded, If I added every single logo that was worth being in the gallery some peoples whole showcase would be in...

firebrand said on Mar. 02 '10

@ClimaxDesigns: I was featured artist 3 months before this particular logo was uploaded but yeah I hear what you're saying David.

Alessandro Mingione said on Mar. 02 '10

Finally got featured, congratulations

JoePrince said on Mar. 02 '10

I'd float it again if I could Roy. One of the best on the site.

m1sternoname said on Mar. 02 '10

I'm sad to see this got featured, this was supposed to be the best kept secret of lp! Nah, just kidding, let the world enjoy it's beauty :D

nido said on Mar. 02 '10

Im doing a similar one for Dutch window makers...

firebrand said on Mar. 02 '10

Haha I see what you've done there Nav. My neck hurts now.

Thanks all. :)

m1sternoname said on Mar. 02 '10

^^lol!

BigAl67 said on Mar. 02 '10

Great stuff going on with this one. Brilliant.

ClimaxDesigns said on Mar. 02 '10

"I was featured artist 3 months before this particular logo was uploaded but yeah I hear what you're saying David. "

Yeah i just meant that general time span, featured artist usually ring in a lot of hits ( which sometimes turns into business ) for like 6 months after getting a showcase. And hey over 40% if your showcase is in the gallery currently :D

firebrand said on Mar. 02 '10

For that I am very grateful. I didn't complain... it just turned up in the gallery.

oronoz ® said on Mar. 02 '10

Just Amazing!!

cerise said on Mar. 02 '10

Simplicity at it's best

michaelspitz said on Mar. 02 '10

This has always been one of my absolute favorites! Great stuff Roy! :)

logomotive said on Mar. 02 '10

well deserved spot.

Ellie said on Mar. 03 '10

I had to show the whole other 1 person in my office today. Stella logo!

icu said on Mar. 03 '10

I love the simplicity of this logo, it is outstanding.

Great website too.

Petro said on Mar. 03 '10

Concept of this logo is just great! Realisation is a fantastically super-good!
;-)

ru_ferret said on Mar. 03 '10

99th (:

firebrand said on Mar. 03 '10

antyclymax getting to 100. Kidding.

Thanks everyone who commented and floated.

Type08 said on Mar. 03 '10

And now the 100 more as it deserves so we can all meet at that London 'Logo Pond 4th Conference' yall be talking about! ;)

plantingseeds said on Mar. 13 '10

I love the simplicity of this logo. I feel like I've seen this logo before somewhere, has this been published in any logo-collection books?

edk said on Mar. 14 '10

Doubt you need another comment about how awesome this is, but here's one anyway. When you see a really good one on the front page, it really stands out. Excellent!

andrevaleiras said on Apr. 20 '10

it's awesome because of it's simplicity and cleverness! fantastic!

firebrand said on Jul. 16 '10

Thanks all.

firebrand said on Aug. 15 '10

;) Thanks.

serene said on Aug. 18 '10

You need to see this buddy

firebrand said on Aug. 18 '10

Thanks serene. If it's just that one design I'm not concerned. Were you referring to the withdrawn ones?

Noetic Brands said on Aug. 30 '10

Love your work Roy!

nido said on Jul. 20 '11

This needs to be exposed more than TNoW...

logoholik said on Jul. 21 '11

What a high caliber rip-off... sigh... would not like to be in their skin atm...

sbj said on Jul. 21 '11

Super cool design Roy.. love

atomicvibe said on Jul. 21 '11

Re: the Italian Ministry of Interior logo - WOW. And it's not even ripped off *well*. Look at that gradient! D: FWIW, the rest of their work sucks, and their website, despite all its fancy bells n' whistles, has tremendously poor functionality. FAIL. I hope they get taken to the cleaners for copyright infringement.

firebrand said on Jul. 29 '11

Thanks for the support on this. I understand the client has instructed lawyers.

firebrand said on Jul. 29 '11

atomicvibe said on Jul. 29 '11

^I'm not buying it. It's way too similar. The placement of the 3 bars, one of which being an open door on the left, and the unique perspective involved - I really don't think it's a very common idea. While their CD may not have consciously copied per se, there is no doubt in my mind he/she was directly influenced by yours.

LOGOMOTIVE said on Jul. 29 '11

^ I agree 100%. Besides by, "definition" (in black and white)as being registered. This would be a direct COPY.

Mikeymike said on Jul. 29 '11

WOW, Roy just looked this over. What a COPY. No matter how they explain it, they are in the wrong here. IMO. Good luck with this one.
Cheers.

ClimaxDesigns said on Jul. 29 '11

wow that is absolutely, disgustingly ridiculous.

camisa15 said on Jul. 29 '11

Logopond "a place to fish... kidnap ideas", FAIL.

THEArtistT said on Jul. 29 '11

You have got to be kidding me. This logo has been published how many times in print and on the web? And then they never thought to check and see if the idea already existed? Should be Standard Operating Procedure to check for similarities on proposed designs BEFORE you present them. Horrible, horrible lack of research and followup. I'm sorry, but they should go down for it.

atomicvibe said on Jul. 31 '11

SOMEBODY GET A ROPE!

rudy hurtado said on Jul. 31 '11

This one looks like an Italian design! Ha! Forget about it! Capiche?

ru_ferret said on Aug. 01 '11

Roy, you are cool:)

Agencija said on Aug. 02 '11

Sad that The Italian Ministry of Interior steal your idea and logo ;-(

alessio cristino said on Sep. 14 '11

Disgusted. I read about the "kidnapping" on the newspaper "La Repubblica" here in Italy... I didn't know the original logo was here on Logopond.
If the board of examiners of the Ministry was stupid the stealer was very dishonest...

chanpion said on Sep. 14 '11

Most of us here at Logopond would often post a design up to get feedback to see whether there are already similar established designs done so that we may try to steer another direction. As Trish pointed out above that its pretty much SOP. And here we have a full fledged design company PROUDLY boasting the logo's author's credentials who also happens to be a CD.

With a quarter of a century of professional experience...(*spit) These guys are an insult to our profession.
