What you are going to see are the logos of 3 famous brands that has been used in a “chinese fake mall”, that is building in this very moment. We all know the copycat brands are rife around the world, but I’ve only seen them on goods, not on actual places 🙂 .. till this moment. fake-chinese-logos-starbucks-mcdonalds-pizzahut Pay attention that the “McDonald’s” and the “StarBucks” replicas are designed in just one color. Also Pizza Hut in the original is printed in 4 colors…but in the fake version – it’s done just with 2. I guess this approach is a product…
The Showcase category is a new one. If you think your logo portfolio is worth to be shown – drop a line up there, where it says “Your logo showcase” – there’s a big chance to be highlighted in Logoblink.com. Don’t forget to write a few words and provide a link. We start with Denis Olenik from Minsk, Belarus. He’s a Bachelor of Graphic Design, graduated in 2005 ( State Academy of Arts in Minsk, Belarus ). I think his works deserve to be seen because of the clean approach and all the potential. I hope we will see more…
“The 2008 crash is probably the most serious economic crisis we have faced after the Great Depression. Stock markets from around the world fell as much as 20% in a single week, dozens of banks either failed or were rescued by government and private instutitions, and companies started laying off employees as a consequence of the reduced demand. We know how we entered into the crisis, but we don’t how, when, or how we will be getting out of it. Considering that issue, we decided to our little bit to help cheer everyone up by redoing the logos of some…
magazine-logos Graphic designers try to be original, to be different, but almost in every case the “face” of the magazine they create is a part of the mainstream. Another typo twin. I’ve seen the covers of the “V” magazine a few months ago.. and I wanted to present the approach to you. Well… to appreciate it – I also added some popular magazine covers. The difference is big. And I love it. The “V” is simple and stylish enough shape to play with it. As is the case with the letters “A”, “W”, “O”, and the other “Usual Suspects”,…
It’s funny how one can interpret shapes and colors 🙂 so be careful when you are creating your logo… I’m wondering what will happen after 10 years… the Chrome logo might be in the 1-st box…and something else will be standing in the 3-rd one 🙂 Found in ChromePlugins.org . The author is Federico Fieni . Any more similar logos you know?
symantec_brandbook This symantecbrandguidelines is more about the logo itself. The documents is from 2000, but still – it looks like designed yesterday. I think it’s unuasual that the guideline covers more the logic of designing the symbol / logo, than the usage itself. This is an interesting approach. The PDF is not big – just 20 pages, 245 KB, but it must be seen. Here we meet again the polite and intelligent way to say the dummies and the non-pros how to handle this brand. Comments are open, you are welcomed 🙂

This video is prepared by www.MMagic.net. Scetch + Scan + work in Adobe Illustrator Here you can read more about the movie : “I filmed myself from start to finish, the process of designing a logo and time lapsed the whole thing for your viewing pleasure! 🙂 The Logo: The brief required me to design a logo for “Saniware” a company which specializes in sanitary wares and bathroom toilet fixtures. It was essential for the logo to have a distinct logo mark. This mark must be modern, fresh, uncomplicated, bold, positive, and best of all elegant. It also must express…
att_old_logo_guidelines A clean and ordered logo guidelines about the previous AT&T mark. Old, but gold ! I like the way things are presented – pages are not empty, but not too crowded with schemes – you can easily absorb the information. Also simple explanations are given, so that a non-designer should work in a correct manner with the logo. Just click on the picture to open the PDF in a new window.
Boom Festival is being held for the first time in 2008, Portugal. It is a complex event where a lot of performances meet. Watch this movie to meet the idea .. … and then watch the logo case, so that you can understand the idea of the symbol these guys came with 🙂 I think the approach was great, but the final product could be better. For example – the logo will be used in a lot of mediums, so it has to be with stronger shapes that could be represented no matter the tools you are using. The thin…
