Design to Feel

Description: This logo represents my personal identity as a graphic designer. "Design to Feel" represents an attitude toward the process of creating successful visual solutions, where designs are more often judged not by how they look, but by how they feel. A modern re–imaging of the prehistoric hand/spiral motif fits my own design sensibilities and feels appropriate for myself as a designer. Simple and powerful.

Is your logo trademarked? You may want to check this out...!**http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-34139977/stock-vector-hand-with-a-spiral-symbol-on-the-palm-on-a-circle-of-hands-background.html

No it's not trademarked. I have no idea of how to go about doing that. I'm not even sure I could though, as this hand/spiral idea is not a new or unique concept by any means. Teva has a similar mark for instance. The concept has been around for a long time, but I spent quite while making sure the geometry was perfect to give it a refined feel. Every other instance of this concept I've seen is very rough and natural looking. This shutterstock image though is the closest I've seen to mine. The fingers in particular are almost exactly the same. I'm not sure I would be able to do anything though.**Thanks for the notice!

I think cavemen beat everyone to it.**Maybe it's childhood memory, but when I see this, I am reminded not to touch a hot stove :/**Seriously, though, nice execution.

Super! Right now it looks like a Left hand... if you flip it.. it will become the right hand and will also reveal the letter %22d%22 maybe :)

designtofeel Aug. 31 '11

A left hand? I'm not sure how you get a left hand, it's a right hand- oh now I get it, it's supposed to be palm out. And I never intended there to be a D, but there is a very subtle S, for Sam. Thanks for the your thoughts!

believe me ... I googled it after I've read your comment ... never seen the punisher thing before ... so I deleted it ... guess I would get a bunch of wtf comments ... I think it would be really stupid to copy such a thing ...
