vintage_chic said:Very cute but I have to agree with gyui. I think there is just a little contradiction between the title and the illustration. Regardless though, I love it!

superdave4eva said:I guess I don't see what everyone is raving about, I don't find it all that great... and I actually respect many of the designers leaving comments. Then again, perhaps that is why my logos don't get floated all that often. This whole website perplexes me!

guyzelz said:Awesome, love the look and feel! Is anybody here old enough to remember Fuzzy Felts? (if anyone thinks I'm nuts, Google that term)
Could you provide a little context for this though please? Wondering what the name means and how this gets the job done. Or was it just for fun? Thanks.

logoboom said:While I love the illustration and execution, I find it a terribly confusing name in relation to the mark and odd brand in relation to what you do. But that'll be up to your marketing efforts to trump those challenges.

squaredeye said:Sorry for the belated reply. I didn't bother to follow up :(
I am thankful for all the great compliments about our new logo. Able is responsible for it, and you can find their site here : http://designedbyable.com (which Squared Eye designed for them)
Able are an extremely ethical group, and so I can say with absolute confidence that the similarities to Chad's work and this logo are utterly coincidental, albeit remarkable :)! I saw Chad's design on ffffound.com about 3 months ago and have been looking for the designer ever since. Your work is outstanding! I love the book illustrations.
Thanks again,
Matthew

amp13 said:Yeah, it's nice, amazing, great because Chad Geran created it first. I'm glad Chad made a comment on it. I'm surprised he hasn't asked you to cease using it, or at least fork over a little dough for his effort.
