Reply%5E LOL thanks. Boy if that don't say it ALL I don't really know what to say or convince people what is going on with our industry.*
ReplyThis was isn't as bad, but still reminds me of Elephont%3B**http://brandstack.com/logo-design/details/1924
Reply%5E I can see that but that does not bother me as much as that can be purely coincidental. The other and that it was allowed is beyond me. In fact I almost feel it is a poke.
ReplyBTW any Brandstacker want to defend this or say %22get over myself%22 come the forward.
ReplyOH SNAP! another 404 error now.....
Replyhttp://tr.im/F5H5

ReplyIt is ingenious!
Replygreat idea captured...
Replylove this so so much
ReplyVery nice shape, working with negative space, it reminds me right away into pierre cardin's logo http://www.ugarms.com/images/logo/pierre%2520cardin.jpg
ReplyNice work :)
ReplyThis logo haunts my dreams! Really wonderful work, and thanks to your description, I'm going to keep on designing my fictitious logos to keep the ol' creative juices flowing. %3B-)
ReplyThanks peeps, but there is a HUGE difference between fictional logos and actual client work. It's night and day really. This just helps to get the juices going. The Real deals give you nightmares and put knots in your stomach, if you know what I mean...
ReplyI agree, wholeheartedly. And, the biggest pain ever that I had to design for, the biggest client? Myself. Horrible stress. When it's the 'real thing' it's far more risky.
ReplyHa! I don't recall having read your description before! I agree on all points, ditto. It's fun and good creative exercise, and have obviously done it myself, but it's a hell of a lot easier to make shit up!
ReplyThats so true! And the worst part is when you have worked so hard and finally make a good logo, but the client dosn't see it :D
ReplyThis Logo will be included in Maggie Macnab's new book, Design by Nature.
Replyoh sensei ... that's brilliant!!
ReplyNice*!
ReplyThanks again Type and Signs and Flit.
ReplyJuste g�nial *** Awesooome !

ReplyAll your works is creative and great!
ReplyThanks Bernd and Savik :)
Replythis is BS! http://elefontdesign.com/
ReplyYep. and nothin much you can do about it Mike, the a-hole is in India.
Replythey took the name too?!?!!! goddamn... what a dic*
ReplyUGGG, yeah I need to learn how to become an internet hacker for the RIGHT reasons.
Replyhttp://designmodo.com/
Replyive always side eyed these guys too
That one does not bother me. The fact that these guys took The name and Close type to my design is just, well irratating as heck.
Replyman your so right about making fictious logos , fake it till you make it, and its good practice and have an abundance of ideas to put into use in the future.
ReplyThe problem is everyone wants the same WOW result. Does not always happen in Logo Design.
ReplyHey all you India Peeps! Designers? show some Respect! http://elefontdesign.com/
ReplyThe wow effect is what makes me design. I aim to get that out of all of my work a sort of aha when the viewer finds it out. But your right it sometimes doesnt happen
ReplyMight be useful in the future.
ReplyI face the same problem from time to time. They want their logo to be as clever as Pelican, for example.
ReplySOLD!!
ReplyI hope you got a trunkful.
ReplyFINALLY!
Reply^^ :) good one Roy.
ReplyHopefully not a trunkful of peanuts :) Congrats Mike!
ReplyHa Bojan another goodie. I did OK :)
