Description: logo for a friend\'s quirky blog community for history students (grad & undergrad) focusing on freshness in the field, new scholarship & theory, academic programs, history in the news, etc. all in an informal, nonacademic spirit. thought it a stretch omitting any mark that screams \"history!\" but wanted to emphasize freshness and keep it, well, refreshing - a departure from stuff department websites and history cliches.

does anyone know why the thumbnail isn't loading? checked and rechecked file size and color settings :/

It's because the extension is .jpeg I believe. Change it to .jpg and see if that fixes it.

thanks ryantoyota!

No prob. Beautiful logo, by the way. I love the splash that doubles as a dot for the i. The only thing I would change is the kerning on the g.

emtarte said on Feb. 22 '07

wow, i'd never noticed the prob with the g, and now it's all i can look at. nice one :)

Waay to much going on in my opinion. Seems very unbalanced.

@senterbrands - way too much how... in terms of graphic styles? colors? the mark isn't that intricate, so just curious. @KGB - again, "too much" how? i'm interested in other people's perspectives.

too much = the leaves don't need to be transparent or have the gradients in each one the leaves are too large and take away from the orange the orange could be smooth on the outer edge the white, pulp area it too thick, it stands out more than it would in a normal orange the type is jammed together the type has a gradient on it
