This is a great article from a great site. Here’s an excerpt.

Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.

Here’s another.

Great web designs are like great buildings. All office buildings, however distinctive, have lobbies and bathrooms and staircases. Websites, too, share commonalities.

I finally chose a logo. One which looks good in both black/white and in color.

I won’t stick to one palette. I want the logo to change colors depending on how it’s used.

After years of drawing and redrawing and trying to design myself a logo, I finally recruited the help of my buddy and partner in crime, Seth Levy, to help me out.

I’ve been dubbed “the logo king” by my classmates at the design program in college. I love designing logos. Never had any problems. That is until I had to design my own.

I had read about designers recruiting other designers to do their logos for this reason.

When I finally opened up the can of worms, I mean, the logo file to work on a logo again early this year, I had somewhat of a vision of what I wanted. I shot some comps to my buddy Seth, he shot some back and eventually one of his ideas caught my eye.

We began to explore said idea and it evolved into something that was cool but still not hitting the mark.

Below are a few of the ideas we had going.
