I like the font, and the color combonations. Well done!

This logo is dead freaking sexy. Inspiring--I can see lots and lots of themes coming from this mark, in your branding and stuff. Sleek and quick and at the same time bold and military.

I can't help but wonder: why is it vertical? Doesn't that affect readability (and as a result memorability)? If it didn't look so darned much like some sort of badge of honor on a veteran's coat, I'd say turn it right-side-up.

Also, what font makes up the "KGB"? I can see Futura (or something like it) in the "Design" part. And, for that matter, the KGB, but the B throws me off.

Anyway, awesome work, and thanks for the vote.

Republik Sans is the font. It's vertical to resemble a bomb. Also the star is die-cut on the business card. this allows me to hang the business cards on bulletin boards. Thanks for the great comments.

this is a nice idea...how the direction is going down, like he's about to drop the bomb on 'em.

get it...good work!

wmd or human package?

Bernard Kowalski said on Jan. 05 '07

First thing it made me think of was a bomb, as it's meant to.

Wonderful!

OcularInk said on Jan. 12 '07

At first, I did not read this as a bomb. But man, now that I do, it all makes sense...I really like this one. Any chance you were a skateboarder at one time or another? I used to skate a lot, and this reminds me of a skate brand or something. Also, I like your choice of die-cut on the card. I bet it looks nice as well.

KGB said on Jan. 12 '07

Not a skater. I had a Garfield skateboard once in the 6th grade, and I was pretty good a Tony Hawk on PS2. That young, bold, clean look was what I was going for, though. thanks.

hey KGB, nice work man, rest of your showcase is neat too, so whats KGB stand for then? is it Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti?

KGB said on Feb. 18 '07

Thanks.
KGB started as my initials rearranged. But it has become more of a philosophy. My tagline is "we have ways of making you gawk."

onesummer said on Feb. 06 '08

had the same reaction as Oc.Ink. that being I did not get that it was a bomb until pointed out. I also got the skater vibe from it. I like the colors. overall good work.

Nice Brian!

Your work on iheartlogos is fantastic. That client of yours really knows what they're doing, too. Their site is a great example of good design, planning, and execution. It's even written well; it's a solid example of what good communication should be. Impressive.

epsilon said on Dec. 24 '09

Just looked at iheartlogos. They totally lost me at "$10 per logo" part. I know they are aiming at LogoLounge, but their voting arrangement is poorly thought through.

Consider what happens with hopeful submitters when they realize that $10 a pop did not put their logos in the book. They will perceive the situation as grossly unfair (since they carefully selected and submitted the best of their stuff, right ?), and will go vengeful on everyone by up-voting the crap and down-voting the good stuff.

So if they stick to their word and do open voting the way they promise, the book may not be as exciting as they imagine it. Letting participants judge is not exactly a great idea, especially if there's money involved.

epsilon said on Dec. 24 '09

Just checked the Whois entry for the domain. "They" -> "You". Brian, I didn't realize it was your personal project, I assumed you have helped with it.

KGB said on Dec. 28 '09

actually, the "you" is a "they". I was the one in charge of purchasing the domain. I hope everyone checks it out.

logome said on Feb. 23 '10

@AP - actually I completely disagree with you. How do you think all the competitions around the world operate? $ Print, CA, How - do you not enter anything ever unless its free. Good luck finding those that feel legitimate, and would let anything in. I stumbled across iheartlogos.com a month ago and thought to myself, "finally a competition site that caters to the entrants, with zero favoritism". Let the community judge - 1 bad egg isn't going to ruin it for the rest of the best. Cream always rises to the top. Try it and find out.

ps KGB your the bomb.
