i like it

itsgareth said on Dec. 29 '08

Cheers, the more I look at it the more I want to use it. I guess there's always that "striving for perfection" notion we have as designers when we create work for ourselves that is putting a doubt in my mind. However, this logo actually means a lot to me because whilst I am totally in love with graphic design there are also times when I can't stand it. A love/hate relationship so to speak...

smartinup said on Dec. 29 '08

and i think you were able to portray that exact love/hate emotion with this mark. you may say "down with design", but it sure seems you put some time and effort into it ;) cheers man-

itsgareth said on Dec. 29 '08

yes but whilst I sometimes say "Down With Design" I am at heart still "Down With Design". And then I "Get Up" like Mr. James Brown ;)

smartinup said on Dec. 29 '08

haha, well played sir. i say keep her.

cerise said on Jan. 15 '09

Smart work Gareth

itsgareth said on Jan. 15 '09

Cheers Cerise, I'm still mulling over it hmm...

Itsgareth said on Mar. 16 '09

I could do with some help... Does everyone think I should keep this or go for a different name? I'm finding it hard to get a domain every time I think of something that I like.

theartistt said on Mar. 16 '09

I kinda like the angry 19 year old attitude in this. I say keep it. It translates because I think all 'artists' are part angry teen in some way.

itsgareth said on Mar. 16 '09

Cheers for the input Trish, I guess I'll keep searching for "the perfect solution" for a while longer. If not then as Michael Jackson recently said here in the UK.....this is it.

lundeja said on Mar. 16 '09

Meh good domain names are few and far between these days, especially anything with the word design in it. I say keep this.

itsgareth said on Mar. 21 '09

Agreed Lundeja. I'm 100% gonna use this now. Just need to iron out the edges some...

nido said on Mar. 22 '09

good for you... Viva la Revolucion!

itsgareth said on Mar. 22 '09

cheers man...relief!

nido said on Mar. 22 '09

seriously... you dont know how good this is!

itsgareth said on Mar. 22 '09

haha thanks dude! Me and my logo have finally resolved our issues and we are officially back in love with one another.

itsgareth said on Mar. 22 '09

huh?

Siah-Design said on Mar. 29 '09

Congrats on getting featured, Gareth! Well deserved :D

logomotive said on Mar. 29 '09

Yes Congrats on featured artist Gareth.

lundeja said on Mar. 29 '09

You're the man. Interestingly enough, I've honestly had a hunch that you would be the next featured designer since probably about late December.

firebrand said on Mar. 29 '09

Congratulations on the featured designer, Gareth. Your new brand looks great.

logoboom said on Mar. 29 '09

cerise said on Mar. 30 '09

mister jones said on Mar. 30 '09

thumbs up on the feature, killer folio you got there!

Type08 said on Mar. 30 '09

Congrats buddy! Well deserved! Take the torch and carry it proudly! :)

firebrand said on Mar. 30 '09

It must have taken some effort to prise it from your hand, Alen ;)

Hayes Image said on Mar. 30 '09

Well done on the feature mate!! :)

Brandsimplicity said on Mar. 30 '09

Congrats on finally knocking that Alen fella off the throne lol

Type08 said on Mar. 30 '09

Hahhhaaaaaaa! Guys, can we still be friends? LOL

nido said on Mar. 30 '09

Viva la Revolucion!

crislabno said on Mar. 30 '09

congratulation my friend! well well deserved!

logoholik said on Mar. 30 '09

lolz, so after Alen we go Down With Design! Nice! Congrats Gareth! Well deserved!

itsgareth said on Mar. 30 '09

Thank you ever so much, everyone! I only just found out and I'm really stoked! It really is an honour to be recognised by such a great community as this, it's all up with design from now on, not down, so let's all continue to support logopond as much as we can. @firebrand: Roy, that means a lot, I'm finally comfortable with it representing both myself & my work, thank you. and finally... @nima: I still ain't got a clue what that means! LOL Viva la Revolucion!

theartistt said on Mar. 30 '09

You deserve it. Keep it up. :)

nido said on Apr. 01 '09

itsgareth said on Apr. 20 '10

I am pleased to announce that this logo was NOT selected for Logolounge VI.

Type08 said on Apr. 20 '10

LOL! Sorry to hear that G! Don't worry, there will be more books on logos, you probably didn't meet the trends they set up ;) ;)

Hayes Image said on Apr. 20 '10

That surprises me...& not in a good way :(

itsgareth said on Apr. 20 '10

hehe I'm only joking, I didn't even submit it ;)

Hayes Image said on Apr. 20 '10

but if you did ???

Type08 said on Apr. 20 '10

Good one Gar! LOL Josh, don't worry, he just set up a bad karma with this joke, he won't get this logo in any one of those now! :)

Hayes Image said on Apr. 20 '10

arhhh!! The hand chosen by the Master...The sword of Michael !!?

itsgareth said on Apr. 20 '10

I am proud to announce that I just ate all of my dinner.

gary said on Apr. 20 '10

eziemac said on Apr. 20 '10

I am proud to announce that I went to Boots to buy hair gel and came out with a single toothbrush

itsgareth said on Apr. 20 '10

^ i am pleased to announce that I am proud of you Euan.

andreiu said on Apr. 20 '10

I am proud of you being proud! :>

ethereal said on Apr. 20 '10

Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to use the word "Proud", yikes, I guess I did look like a dweeb.

itsgareth said on Apr. 20 '10

^ ooops didn't mean to sound like I was taking the mick out of you Sean, just friendly banter is all. FWIW I could not eat all of my dessert.

ethereal said on Apr. 20 '10

Ha! Oh, I know, no probs, man. I saw someone else's logo lounge announcement and just copied and pasted it!

eziemac said on Apr. 20 '10

haha I never knew you said that, Sean! Anyway, it is something to be proud of anyway :)

firebrand said on Apr. 20 '10

I'm proud to announce that Gareth got work published but he's much too modest.

ethereal said on Apr. 20 '10

I guess others have said it too, I'm just paranoid - it's my nickname ya know!

milou said on Apr. 20 '10

Small successes. There is no bigger things than that, huh?

eziemac said on Apr. 20 '10

I'm shameful to announce i haven't floated this before... Guess I should join Logolounge, not quite sure what I'm missing out on though!

ethereal said on Apr. 20 '10

Yikes. (Sean hides in corner and stops posting)

firebrand said on Apr. 20 '10

Euan, getting work published one of those first time in the gallery (and on the front cover of CA) kind of feelings - always nice but the novelty eventually wears off and its nice to see others getting a bit of recognition.
