Your $50 logo doesn’t really cost $50. From a designer’s point of view, a good logo should be able to easily replicate on a variety of mediums from business cards, to embroidered shirts, to billboards. I’ve just spent the last week creating magazine advertisements where part of the design budget was used to recreate a logo that was improperly designed. What I assume was a cheap logo just cost another $100 to do the job over again. What happens when the business decides to advertise in another magazine? And they have to pay that magazine’s designer to recreate the logo again. See where this goes? So: don’t be cheap. Get it done right the first time.

Intro.

Crap. Another graphic designer with a blog and an opinion about everything. Hurry up- warn the internet!

Read if you will, follow if you like. The goal of my blog will be to keep my opinions at or under 150 words. I won’t promise to update on any particular schedule.

Expect to see comments on my own work and experiences or my views on whatever might be going on in the world of design at the moment. I promise to be honest, and maybe try to interject some humor where I can. Or just beg for pity laughs. We’ll see.

Enjoy the ride.
